About this map

The planned landscape of Garden City and the expanding village of Hempstead anchor this 19th-century survey of southern Nassau County. The inland topography is defined by the early infrastructure of the Long Island R. R., including the Hempstead Branch and the Montauk Division, which spurred growth in commuter settlements like New Hyde Park and Floral Park. Water management is prominent through the Hempstead Reservoir and Millburn Reservoir, reflecting the area's role in the regional water supply system.
