1966 Map of Flushing

About this map

Flushing Bay and the East River anchor this mid-century survey, capturing the dense urban and maritime character of northern Queens and the eastern Bronx. The map documents a period of significant infrastructure, showing the massive interchanges of the Hutchinson River Parkway, Cross Bronx Expressway, and the approach to the Whitestone Bridge. Major institutional and recreational landmarks of the era are clearly defined, from Shea Stadium near Flushing Meadow Park to the Flushing Airport and the sprawling grounds of St Raymonds Cemetery.
