About this map

Manhattan and Brooklyn meet across the East River in this dense urban study, which highlights the intense infrastructure connecting the boroughs. Major transit hubs like Sunnyside Yards and the Pennsylvania Tunnels serve the industrial and residential corridors of Long Island City and Sunnyside. The map reveals a landscape heavily dedicated to memorial space, featuring the sprawling Green-Wood Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and the National Cemetery near Cypress Hills.

Residential developments such as the Jacob Riis Houses and Ebbets Field Houses define the mid-century housing patterns of Loisada and Flatbush. Maritime history is visible along the Brooklyn waterfront at Dry Dock Number 1 and the Titanic Memorial Lighthouse. The inclusion of various postal stations, from the Downtown Station Brooklyn Post Office to the Maspeth Station Flushing Post Office, provides a granular look at the neighborhood organization of the city in the early 21st century.
