About this map

Pelham Bay and the surrounding coastline of the Bronx and Queens define this urban and maritime study. The geography is marked by the high-density residential developments of the era, including Co-Op City, Parkchester, and the Pelham Parkway Houses. Along the waterfront, the complex shoreline of Eastchester Bay and the East River is home to significant infrastructure, from the Whitestone Bridge to the industrial activity at Van Nest Yard.

Significant cultural and public landmarks are clearly documented, including the athletic complexes of Citi Field and Louis Armstrong Stadium near Flushing Bay. Further out in Long Island Sound, the map details Hart Island with its Potters Field, alongside several smaller islands and reefs. This edition provides an important record of the region's mid-century expansion and its specialized land uses, such as the Rodman's Neck New York City Police Department Firing Range and multiple cemeteries like Saint Raymonds Cem and Flushing Cem.
