About this map

Fire Island stretches across the southern reach of this 1960s survey, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the quiet waters of Great South Bay. The barrier beach is dotted with established summer communities such as Point o' Woods, Cherry Grove, and Fire Island Pines, while the Fire Island National Seashore preserves the unique Sunken Forest. On the mainland, the South Shore villages of Sayville, West Sayville, and Bayport are well-defined by their residential grids and waterfront proximity.

Industrial and institutional landmarks include the Long Island Railroad corridor and the La Salle Military Academy near Oakdale. Local history is anchored by Union Cem and several community institutions like Sayville High Sch and St Johns Ch. The landscape is fragmented by numerous small waterways, including Browns River and Green Creek, which define the points and harbors that shaped the region's maritime character.
