1966 Map of Lawrence

About this map

The coastal communities of Nassau County are presented in detail during the late 1960s, showing a landscape defined by complex tidal waterways and dense suburban development. The Long Island rail line connects the established centers of Cedarhurst, Inwood, and Lawrence, while the barrier islands feature the grid-work of Long Beach and Atlantic Beach. Along the marshy interface of Reynolds Channel, numerous tidal flats and named marshes like North Green Sedge and South Green Sedge persist alongside modern infrastructure. Notable local landmarks for researchers include St Marys Cem, the Rockaway Hunt Club, and Temple Israel. This document captures the shoreline prior to later revisions, documenting the extensive network of schools such as Sch No 2 and the emerging industrial presence of the Powerplant and Incinerator near Island Park.
