1960 Map of New York

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Long Island stretches from the dense urban centers of New York, Brooklyn, and Queens to the rugged tip of Montauk Point. This 1979 revision, based on earlier surveys from the 1930s to the late 1950s, documents the peak of the post-war suburban era. The expansion of the Long Island RR and arterial highways like the Sunrise Highway facilitated massive growth in places like Brentwood and Central Islip.
