1900 Map of Brooklyn

USGS Topo · Published 1924

About this map

Greenwood Cemetery and the sprawling parklands of Prospect Park anchor the urban grid of western Long Island in this late nineteenth-century documentation. The landscape transitions from the dense street patterns of Brooklyn and East Williamsburgh to the marshy, intricate archipelago of Jamaica Bay. These wetlands are defined by a complex network of waterways like Broad Channel and Pumpkinpatch Channel, dotted with named features such as Canarsie Pol and Big Egg Marsh.
