PHYSICAL MAP
Queens County Topographic Map
Queens County is mostly flat, with only subtle rises. It sits on a coastal plain, so elevation rarely climbs up too high. However, a few hills in Forest Park and northern neighborhoods break the trend. The shoreline adds variety with inlets and bays. Topography isn’t bold, but it matters more than you’d expect in city planning.
