1954 Map of West Gilgo Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Long Island barrier beach system is captured here in mid-century detail, centered on the isolated coastal community of West Gilgo Beach. The landscape is dominated by the strategic infrastructure of the State Parkway and Ocean Parkway, which trace the thin ribbon of sand between the Atlantic Ocean and the intricate marshlands of South Oyster Bay. This era of development highlights a careful balance between recreational expansion at Jones Beach State Park and conservation efforts within the Tobay Beach Bird and Game Sanctuary.
