1957 Map of Jamaica

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Jamaica and its surrounding Queens neighborhoods are shown here in a period of intense post-war density and transportation development. The sprawling footprint of the New York International Airport (Idlewild Field) dominates the southeastern quadrant, just as the aviation age was transforming the local landscape. To the west, the massive Aqueduct Race Track and nearby Jamaica Race Track underscore the area's mid-century role as a major regional entertainment destination.
