About this map

The boundary between Queens and Nassau counties defines this densely developed portion of Long Island during the mid-2010s. This survey illustrates a complex mosaic of suburban residential grids and commercial hubs, including the Green Acres Mall and the campuses of Adelphi University and Molloy College. A major concentration of cemeteries, such as Beth David Cem, Montefiore Cem, and Maimonides-Elmont Cem, occupies significant acreage between Elmont and Springfield Gardens.

Transit infrastructure is a dominant feature, with the Long Island RR threading through major villages like Valley Stream, Lynbrook, and Floral Park. The landscape is also marked by essential waterways and flood control systems, from Hempstead Lake and the Mill River to the coastal interface at Thurston Basin and Head of Bay. This map provides an intricate look at the post-war suburban evolution of western Long Island, documenting the precise street layouts and institutional footprints that define these established communities.
