1995 Map of Brooklyn

About this map

Prospect Park serves as a massive green anchor for the dense residential grids of Park Slope and Flatbush in this late-twentieth-century study of the urban landscape. The map details a complex transit network of bridges and tunnels, including the Brooklyn Bridge and the Queens Midtown Tunnel, linking the boroughs across the East River. Major institutional footprints like New York University, the United Nations Headquarters, and Kings County Hospital are clearly delineated alongside industrial waterfronts at the Navy Yard Basin and Newtown Creek. Vast tracts are dedicated to the city's quietest residents, with the Cemetery of the Holy Cross and Calvary Cemetery forming significant open spaces within the tightly packed neighborhoods of East Flatbush and Sunnyside.
