The series consists of a variety of printed maps, plans, and sketches of parks, recreational areas, and other facilities in Suffolk and Nassau counties that were apparently the focus of the Long Island State Park Commission over several decades. The commission was organized by Chapter 112 of the Laws of 1924 to provide for the location, creation, acquisition, and improvement by the state of parks and parkways in those two counties. The public improvement effort was part of a comprehensive statewide plan for development of a unified state parks and parkways system.
