About this map

The dense urban grid of southern Brooklyn meets the Atlantic shoreline in this 2013 survey. From Bensonhurst and Gravesend down to the historic leisure destinations of Coney Island Beach and Manhattan Beach, the map details a landscape defined by its relation to the sea. The modern transit infrastructure is anchored by the Coney Island Terminal, serving as the gateway to the famous amusement district near Steeplechase Pier.

Across the Rockaway Inlet, the narrow peninsula of Rockaway Point and Breezy Point protects the inner waters. Significant landmarks of the mid-century era remain central to the geography, including the sprawling Floyd Bennett Field and the Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge. To the north, the historic Washington Cemetery and the Marlboro Houses illustrate the residential development of the borough, while Marine Park Golf Course and Bergen Beach mark the eastern transition toward Mill Basin.
