1969 Map of Far Rockaway

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern half of this late-1960s survey, a complex network of marshes and tidal flats including Ruffle Bar and Canarsie Pol. The map documents the dense residential and recreational development along the Rockaway Peninsula, from the quiet streets of Neponsit to the bustling amusement area at Rockaway Playland. The barrier island is heavily urbanized, connected to the mainland by the Cross Bay Bridge and the Marine Parkway Toll Bridge.
