About this map

Staten Island Rapid Transit lines anchor the eastern shore of Staten Island in this post-war survey, tracing a path through established neighborhoods like Stapleton, Clifton, and Dongan Hills. The landscape is a mix of dense residential development and significant institutional footprints, including the US Marine Hospital and the sprawling Moravian Cemetery. Military presence is a defining characteristic of the era, with the U S Military Reservation at Miller Field and the strategic fortifications of Fort Wadsworth and Fort Lafayette guarding The Narrows.
