Manhasset Neck dominates the landscape of this North Shore region, carved by the waters of Manhasset Bay and Hempstead Harbor. The map highlights the intensive suburban development across a collection of historic villages including Port Washington, Plandome, and Great Neck. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, such as Nassau Knolls Cem, Roslyn Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem, reflecting the deep roots of these communities. The southern portion of the sheet shows the major transportation corridors of the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway as they pass through Lake Success and North Hills. This era of the map documents a fully matured residential landscape, where specialized landmarks like the Clark Botanic Garden and Whitney Lake sit amidst a complex network of coastal points and coves including Sands Point and Mosquito Cove.
