This is a visual depiction of the runways at Mitchel Air Force base, which incorporates remnant pieces of actual runway where they still exist. The most prominent pieces shown are those of runway 5/23 (in the upper righthand corner of the picture), which ran from the southwest to the northeast and was Mitchel's longest at almost 5,700 feet. In addition to 5/23, Mitchel had an additional three runways, which were between 4,800 and 4,960 feet in length.
The southwest portion of runway 5/23 is currently used for Hofstra University parking. The northwest portion is used by the Nassau County Police Department Training Academy for vehicle obstacle training.
