1903 Map of Hempstead

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

Hempstead and the emerging villages of western Nassau County appear here during a transformative era of suburban transition. The landscape is defined by the extensive rail networks of the Long Island R. R., including the Montauk Division and the Long Beach Branch, which facilitated the growth of planned communities like Garden City and Floral Park. The map documents a complex hydraulic system necessary for regional development, featuring the Hempstead Reservoir, Millburn Reservoir, and numerous smaller ponds such as Simonson Pond and Watts Pond.
