1966 Map of Arthur Kill

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The industrial corridor of the Arthur Kill separates the bustling refinery towns of New Jersey from the suburban expansion of Staten Island in the mid-1960s. On the New York side, the landscape is defined by massive institutions and public spaces like the Willowbrook State School and La Tourette Park, alongside sprawling burial grounds such as Baron Hirsch Cemetery and Ocean View Cemetery. The western shore of Richmond is a complex of waterways and marshlands, including Fresh Kills and Pralls Island, where the Department of Sanitation operated adjacent to historic settlements like Rossville and Chelsea.
