1955 Map of Freeport
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Mitchell Air Force Base and its adjacent Santini Sub Base anchor the northern landscape of central Nassau County, surrounded by a burgeoning network of mid-century suburban developments. This mid-1950s survey captures a pivotal moment of expansion as post-war housing tracts like Levittown and East Meadow fill the spaces between established hubs such as Hempstead and Freeport. The era's reliance on car culture and rail is evident in the layout of the Southern State Pkwy and the Long Island RR, while the sprawling grounds of Roosevelt Raceway and Hofstra College mark significant land use.
