1958 Map of New York
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Long Island serves as the central focus of this mid-century survey, capturing a pivotal moment of suburban expansion and industrial infrastructure. The postwar housing boom is evident in the development of Levittown, while the transportation network reflects the increasing dominance of the automobile with the Long Island Expressway and Southern State Parkway cutting across the landscape. Along the north shore, deep inlets like Oyster Bay and Smithtown Bay contrast with the long, continuous barrier beaches of the south shore, including Jones Beach and Fire Island Beach.
