After Albon Man added the Bergen, Robertson and Hendrickson farms to his holdings, the total property of the village was over 400 acres.
Once the farmland had been sectioned off, street construction began. Lefferts Ave. (now Lefferts Blvd.) was the main thoroughfare, and cross streets were laid out from it to Welling Street (now 110th St.).
​
This map also depicts Forest Park, the Williamsburgh & Jamaica Turnpike (now Metropolitan Ave.), Myrtle Ave., Central Ave. (now 85th Ave.), towards the top of the map shows Crystal Lake which was later drained to build the Kew Gardens LIRR station, and at the bottom of the map is Clarenceville (now 111th St. and Atlantic Ave.in Richmond Hill).
