File:1946 Huntington Planning Map.png
Backstory
In the early 1980's, a department of the New York State Department of Housing and Urban Development (NYS-HUD) was relocating to a new office location. Workers were told to throw thousands of documents in the trash rather than move them to the new office location. This map was saved from those NYS-HUD archives.
Licensing
It was copyrighted in 1946 by the town of Huntington. The copyright was not renewed ([1] archive copy at the Wayback Machine) and thus expired in 1974. I have received permission to share this map as Public Domain by officials of the Town of Huntington.
This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart and the copyright renewal logs.

File Details
This is the largest complete version of this map uploaded to Wikimedia. An even larger .png file exists with more detail (109 megs and over 56 million pixels) but it greatly exceeded Wikimedia's file size and dimension restrictions. Smaller sections of this map may also be uploaded to allow "zoom-in" functionality to a Wikipedia article.
