About this map

Hicksville and Oyster Bay anchor this 1960s perspective of Nassau County's rapidly developing suburban landscape. The map captures a transition between the established North Shore estates and the post-war residential expansion further inland. Notable for its concentration of private institutions, the area includes the Long Island University C W Post College and the Hofstra University Old Westbury Campus, alongside the prominent Roosevelt Grave near The Cove.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the southern half of the sheet, where the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway intersect near Jericho, fueling the suburban growth seen in New Cassel and Westbury. This era's layout also features an abundance of recreational spaces, from the Nassau Country Club to the Mutton-town Country Club, preserving large tracts of green space amidst the increasing density of the Long Island rail-served communities.
