2010 Map of Jamaica

About this map

Jamaica and its surrounding Queens neighborhoods are shown in extensive detail at the beginning of the 21st century, revealing a landscape defined by dense urban residential blocks, major transportation arteries, and significant green spaces. The map illustrates the complex infrastructure of the borough, from the sprawling John F Kennedy International Airport in the south to the institutional campuses of the City University of New York Queens College and Saint John's University Queens Campus. Historical burial grounds like Saint Johns Cemetery and Prospect Cemetery provide open space among the tightly packed street grids of Forest Hills Gardens and Richmond Hill.
