Walter has done a great job explaining the complex nature of LI Geography--the differences between hamlet and village, and the ZIP Code and School District they fall in..and how this could cause confusion when looking at a particular area.
The thing that may have caused some confusion were the clunky census maps you've probably seen around here. Those maps are no longer needed. Google Maps now displays hamlet, Village and ZIP Code borders--in a clear, precise manner--with the CDP shaded in pink and the border in dashes.
Here are some examples of this, places where this has caused confusion in the past:
school districts would be nice but not unless Google employs people locally... it would take them months just to do our areas. Or they can steal an existing feed but that's not their style.

I just want to add that Walter's explanations and everything are valuable information.. in fact,I think google displaying CDP maps kinda validates what he's been saying here all along. Only thing is now there are better, clearer, more interactive maps available, to complement this information.
