2013 Map of Brooklyn

About this map

Prospect Park serves as a massive central anchor for this urban landscape, surrounded by the distinctive neighborhoods of Clinton Hill, Adelphi, and Flatbush. The map reveals a dense network of residential housing developments such as Ebbets Field Houses and Atlantic Terminal Houses, indicating the mid-century evolution of the city's housing footprint. Along the East River, the industrial and maritime legacy is visible through Dry Dock Number 1 and various shipping piers, while the interior is dotted with significant religious and commemorative sites like Cem of the Holy Cross and the Ridgewood Masonic Temple. Infrastructure defines the boundaries of these communities, from the heavy rail corridors of Bushwick Yards to the massive bridge spans including the Kosciuszko Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge, illustrating how transport and transit systems have historically carved the boroughs into their modern shapes.
