Queens was still a young consolidated borough in 1918, having joined Greater New York in 1898, and this map shows its territory broken into numbered districts, a common way of organizing voting, police, and civic administration in the era. The numbering makes it a useful snapshot of how the borough's sprawling mix of farmland, villages, and emerging neighborhoods was being divided up for governance. Maps like this were typically produced for officials, reference, and the public, so they capture a moment when the borough was shifting from rural towns toward dense urban development. Look closely at the district boundaries to see how they follow older town lines and waterways.
