1947 Map of Lawrence
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Hempstead Bay and its complex network of tidal channels define the southern shoreline of Nassau County in this mid-century survey. The landscape is a study in early suburban development and coastal recreation, where the Long Island RR connects established villages like Cedarhurst and Lawrence to the expanding beachfront communities of Long Beach and Lido Beach. The map highlights a highly manicured environment, dotted with numerous leisure landmarks including the Rockaway Hunting Club, Cedarhurst Yacht Club, and the Nassau Hotel.
