1967 Map of Greenlawn

About this map

Pilgrim State Hospital dominates the central landscape of this mid-century survey, its expansive grounds and infrastructure reflecting the era’s large-scale institutional development in Suffolk County. The map documents a period of intense suburban transition, where older settlements like Greenlawn and East Northport are being bridged by a complex web of modern transportation. The Jericho Turnpike and the Long Island Expressway cut through the terrain, illustrating the shift from a rail-dependent economy along the Long Island railroad toward an automobile-centric suburban grid.
