Does anyone have a list of areas on LI that aren't official towns/hamlets/etc but are often referred to as such? (Nassau: rated)

Thanks! I'm trying to navigate LI geography & this is the most confusing part!

Rather than a list of what "areas" are not cities, villages nor hamlets, here's some information on the actual cities, villages and hamlets:

There are 2 cities and 13 towns (as well as 2 Indian reservations) in the bi-counties and the 13 towns (3 in Nassau and 10 in Suffolk) are further sub-divided into 96 villages (incorporated municipalities) and 195 hamlets (unincorporated areas), yielding 293 communities (2 + 96 + 195 = 293).

..............Nassau......Suffolk........Total

....cities............2..........0..............2
...villages.........64.........32.............96
.hamlets..........70........125............195

.....total.........136........157............293


For a good set of town-by-town maps showing all the villages and hamlets in each of LI's 13 towns (3 in Nassau County and 10 in Suffolk County):

Thanks so much...you don't by chance have an actual list of the official cities/towns/hamlets, do you? That would be great.

The same report that has the town-by-town maps showing all the villages and hamlets in each of LI's 13 towns (3 in Nassau County and 10 in Suffolk County), on the facing page to the map of each town, lists the villages and hamlets in that town and does this for all 13 towns:
