2013 Map of Jamaica

About this map

The dense urban grid of Queens dominates this 2013 topographic study, illustrating the complex intersection of residential neighborhoods and major transit hubs. From the extensive grounds of John F Kennedy International Airport in the south to the sporting landmarks of Arthur Ashe Stadium in the north, the landscape is a portrait of modern infrastructure. The map reveals the intricate network of the Van Wyck Expy and Belt Pkwy as they weave through established communities like Jamaica and Forest Hills. Notable green spaces and water bodies, including Meadow Lake and Willow Lake, provide relief from the surrounding density, while historic sites such as Cypress Hills Cem and Bayside Cem anchor the area's local history. The presence of the Aqueduct Racetrack and Queens College further highlights the varied institutional character of this central New York borough.
