WHAT IS ON THE MAP?
ISSUE# 1171
We posted the image below of a 1930’s map of the south end of the island
a few days ago.
Here are images of the structures on the map. This is the area of the island that is in the current Southpoint Park. You can see that the island ends
at the Smallpox Hospital. All land south of that point is landfill.
