1947 Map of Lynbrook
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Nassau County and the Borough of Queens meet in this post-war landscape defined by rapid suburban densification and grand institutional grounds. The Long Island Railroad network, including the West Hempstead Branch and Montauk Division, anchors the transportation corridor that fueled the growth of Garden City, Floral Park, and Valley Stream. Large-scale land use is dominated by the sprawling Belmont Park Race Track and the Creedmoor Division Brooklyn State Hospital, while the presence of the Curtiss Wright Airport highlights the era's aviation infrastructure before modern commercial expansion.
