About this map

Fort Totten and Fort Schuyler guard the entrance to the East River in this postwar topographic portrait of the northern Queens and Bronx waterfronts. The landscape is defined by the rapid industrial and aviation expansion of the mid-1940s, featuring the sprawling footprint of La Guardia Field and the nearby Flushing Airport. Dense residential blocks in Flushing, College Point, and Whitestone are intersected by modern thoroughfares like the Whitestone Parkway and Northern Boulevard, signaling the era’s shift toward automobile-centric development.
