About this map

Hart Island and its Potters Field sit prominently in the Long Island Sound as this 2010 survey details the complex interface of the Bronx and Queens waterfronts. The map captures a high-density urban landscape connected by massive infrastructure, including the Whitestone Bridge and the Throgs Neck Bridge. Extensive residential developments like Parkside Houses and Clason Point Gardens Houses fill the interior, while the shoreline is defined by nautical landmarks such as City Island, the Evers Seaplane Base, and the World's Fair Marina near Flushing Bay.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several major burial grounds, including Saint Raymonds Cemetery and Flushing Cemetery. The map also documents the institutional footprint of the area, featuring the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and the State University of New York Maritime College at Fort Schuyler. From the busy runways of La Guardia Airport to the salt marshes of Pelham Bay Park, the sheet provides a meticulous record of New York City's northern reaches at the start of the 21st century.
