About this map

Greenwood Cemetery and Prospect Park anchor a landscape transitioning from dense urban blocks to the sprawling marshlands of Grassy Bay. This late 19th-century survey captures a crucial era of infrastructure growth, evidenced by the intricate web of the Long Island Railroad and various electric lines like the Electric R.R. stretching toward Jamaica and Rockaway Beach.
