1966 Map of Jamaica

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The John F Kennedy International Airport dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking a period of massive aviation expansion alongside the tidal flats of Jamaica Bay. The map documents a densely developed urban corridor where established residential neighborhoods like Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, and Richmond Hill are interwoven with an intensive network of post-war infrastructure. The Van Wyck Expressway and Belt Parkway serve as primary arteries, slicing through the older street grids and connecting the airport to the interior of Queens.
