Re: BMT Canarsie Line history question.

Until maybe the end of the '60s the Hagstrom Map Company was very aggressive in depicting "extensions to come," sometimes with dates and often depicted by a dashed line.

When I first moved to Long Island I bought a Suffolk County and a Nassau County Hagstrom atlas.

It shows future Bethpage Parkway going way north of the traffic circle where it still ends; the LIE bypassing Riverhead out to the North Fork; NY 135 going toward the proposed bridge and connecting to Wantagh Parkway to Jones Beach and Long Beach.

So Hagstron Maps (of an era) are not the most dependable notwithstanding the intentional errors.
