2016 Map of Sayville

About this map

The South Shore of Long Island is defined here by the barrier beach of Fire Island National Seashore, separating the mainland from the Atlantic Ocean. Inland, established communities like Sayville, West Sayville, and Bayport are connected by the Long Island railroad and Montauk Hwy. This coastal landscape reveals a mix of residential growth and maritime heritage, where historic sites like Union Cem and Saint Ann's Cem sit near natural features like Mill Pond and Greenes Lake. Along the barrier island, seasonal settlements such as Cherry Grove, Fire Island Pines, and Water Island are accessible via the Great South Bay, highlighting the unique transport patterns of these automobile-free communities. From the marshes of Ludlows Creek to the shoreline at Sayville Bathing Beach, the map captures the late-twentieth-century character of these iconic Suffolk County locales.
