English: This map shows locations in Woodside and surrounding areas of Queens from both colonial times and the period in which it was made (1908-1912). It is oriented so the the south-to-north axis is from bottom left to top right.

Modern Woodside is shown as "Woodside" and "North Woodside." It is bounded by Long Island City in the west, Laurel Hill and Winfield in the south, Elmhurst and Corona in the east, and North Beach in the north. Flushing (not shown) also lies to the north.

The map contains one error worth noting: Trains Meadow lies in the area marked with an encircled D and not in the space to the north west labeled "Trains Meadow."

D. Trains Meadow, used as a common fresh meadow by English settlers of Middelburg (Newtown) as early as 1662, some of the earlier drains being still visible. It was first recorded as Long Traynes Meadow (Long Drains Meadow?). It was divided among the settlers in 1678, and part is still a wild and secluded jungle. The "rivulet" was later called Wessells or Lodowick's Brook, the Indian name being "Sackhichneyah."

E. [The Town Dock stood near here.] Here farmers brought their produce to be loaded on shallow market boats for New York. It was laid out by the commissioners in September, 1722, and used until the Revolution, when it became a landing place for British supplies... In 1792 the Town voted to rebuild the dock at public expense and to erect a store hous here, dockmasters being elected annually. After the establishment of steam ferries it gradually fell into disuse and was finally abandoned in 1865, rapidly going to decay.
