2019 Map of Jamaica

About this map

Jamaica and its surrounding neighborhoods are depicted in extensive detail, showcasing a dense urban grid intersected by a complex network of major expressways. The landscape is defined by the massive footprint of the John F Kennedy International Airport to the south and the sprawling Gateway National Recreation Area across the tidal marshes of Jamaica Bay. This survey illustrates the intricate balance between residential communities like Forest Hills, Ozone Park, and Queens Village and the significant institutional presence of schools such as Cuny Queens College and Saint John's University Queens Campus. Numerous historical burying grounds, including the Wyckoff-Snediker Family Cem and Grace Episcopal Churchyard, remain as quiet witnesses to the area's long history within the modern metropolitan sprawl. Heavy transit arteries like the Van Wyck Expy and Long Island railroad lines dictate the flow of the modern borough.
