Site Analyzing: Drawing on Maps

*** Assume North is UP for every map unless otherwise stated ***
In this google earth image, I zoomed far out trying to capture most of the queens area and a bit beyond to annotate this interesting connection between green spaces throughout the area of Queens. I'm not sure this is a characteristic of every "Green" area in Queens being connected but I wanted to incorporate that observation into whatever I end up designing along a portion of Flushing Creek. By which I mean that either I will create some kind of literal "connection" to these green areas, specifically to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park since it's the closest area, to give the impression of these sort of continuous green areas as seen on the map. OR, my connection will perhaps be more figurative since there are some areas that aren't connected to these larger and continuous patches of green.
* disclaimer: not all the patches or connected pieces are parks and such, some are also cemeteries and as I've come to find out, Queens has a TON of them.

In this map, I tried to zoom in enough of the neighborhood along both "sides" of the Creek. Analyzing the data, it makes sense that the Willets Point area is composed of mostly dark and light grey dots which symbolize sites that are under government administration or some kind of core infrastructure or transportation site due to the fact that this area is generally more on the industrial/manufacturing side. Walking along that area you won't really find any residential buildings until you reach more further into the East Elmhurst or Corona neighborhoods. And on the opposite side, the reverse can be observed. The area along the bank isn't all necessarily residential, it's also commerical and some areas are even mixed. To some extent, it can even be seen as a much more "developed" area since there's definitely a lot more going on on this side of the creek.
