Bethpage/Central Park Area "Map". new

(22 Nov 05)

This is yet another page (02 Feb 02) to cover maps and additional information and photographs of this interesting old highway; see also my Automotive, Chrysler, Dudgeon (really!), Mercedes, and SS and JAGUAR car pages and other related pages.

A Motor Parkway Panel has been convened to keep the LIMP alive in minds and museums.

There is also a lot of automotive material on my ORDNANCE and HISTORY pages.

Also, if you like automotive history, see the links on the Automotive page.

Bethpage/Central Park Area "Map"

Fellow member of the Sunrise Trail Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society Al Castelli sent me this portion of a larger "map" pertaining to the Bethpage area of the CRR but it has lots of details about the Motor Parkway! It is from a Bethpage Fire Department fund drive "map" from 1994, printed on brown parchment-type paper with old photos from Central Park/Bethpage and the inside opened to a "map" (really more of a diagram) of the area in the 1930-40's, including the Bethpage Spur and the turntable.

It is so full of information that I am reproducing both the two segments Al sent AND a carefully-pieced full image (within one or two pixels of an exact match, all 1.2Mb of it), all thumbnailed: new (22 Nov 05)

I'll try to get the missing margins and add them.

Note the tantalizing tidbits of LIMP lore:

1. BOTTO's farm peeking out at the top center of the right-hand segment; it was his farm that is now the northern portion of Bethpage State Park and his farm road that bridged the LIMP just west of the intersection of JoAnn Drive and Schoolhouse Lane.

2. "MAGILLIGAN'S TOLL HOUSE" {sic} at the lower end of Broadway at Stewart Avenue! Wuzzat? Where are you, Al Veloccci, when we need you?

3. "BEAU SE JOUR" {sic}, the Beau Sejour Restaurant (formerly) at the NW corner of Stewart and Central Avenues, long reputed to be, or contain part of, a LIMP Toll Lodge [highly unlikely - the Beau Sejour mansion was built in 1847 and sold to Harry G. Wilson in 1918 when it became a restaurant hosting the carriage trade from the LIMP - it was sold and demolished in 1973 - per Central Park Historical Society].

Minor inaccuracy - the LIMP went under Stewart Avenue. <{> Is there any other detail I may have missed?
