Summary

Description
English: This is a detail from "Map of Newtown, Long Island. Designed to exhibit the localities referred to in the 'Annals of Newtown.' Compiled by J. Riker, Jr. 1852." It shows the area that would become Woodside, bounded in the west by Middletown and Dutch Kills (shown as "Kills" in the detail), in the south by English Kills and Maspeth, and in the east by the Village of Newtown (shown as "Vill" in the detail). Woodside's northern boundary is approximately the top border of the map. The "Great Chestnut Tree" was actually located on the west side of the road where it is shown.
