About this map

Queens and Nassau counties meet in this densely developed landscape of the late 2010s, where the western Long Island suburbs converge. This map shows the transition from the grid-like residential blocks of Queens Village and Bellerose into the expansive village footprints of Elmont and Franklin Square. The presence of massive cemeteries like Montefiore Cem and Beth David Cem highlights the region's historic role as a resting place for the city's population.

Transit remains the lifeblood of these communities, anchored by the Long Island railroad lines and major parkways. To the north, the seat of government is visible at the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola, while the campus of Adelphi University stands in Garden City. In the south, the map details the intricate tidal edges where Hook Creek and Thurston Basin define the shoreline near North Woodmere.
