1949 Map of New York
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The vast reach of Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean define this post-war landscape, where the burgeoning suburbanization of the late 1940s is already visible through a complex network of parkways. Major transit hubs like Idlewild Airport and La Guardia Airport signal the region's mid-century shift toward global aviation, while the Long Island RR remains the backbone of local connectivity for established towns such as Hicksville, Patchogue, and Riverhead. From the dense urban blocks of Yonkers and the Bronx to the rural reaches of Southampton and East Hampton, the map captures the transition from industrial city centers to the seasonal retreats of the eastern forks.
