2016 Map of Arthur Kill

About this map

Staten Island’s western and southern reaches are defined here by a dense network of suburban development and industrial shoreline along the Arthur Kill. The map shows a complex landscape where residential neighborhoods like Eltingville, Annadale, and Huguenot meet significant open spaces and historical sites. The southern tip at Tottenville and the coastal stretches of Princes Bay contrast with the heavy industrial infrastructure near Chelsea and the Island of Meadows. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous burial grounds, including the historic Sleight Family Graveyard and several large denominational sites like United Hebrew Cem and Saint Josephs Cem. The presence of the CUNY Coll of Staten Island and the path of the Staten Island Railroad illustrate the borough's modern connectivity, while the edges of the Gateway National Recreation Area at Crookes Point mark the transition to the Atlantic shoreline.
