About this map

Central Park serves as the geographic anchor for this urban survey, which details the dense residential and industrial corridors of Upper Manhattan, the Bronx, and western Queens. The map captures the complex connectivity of the region through a massive network of bridges spanning the Hudson River and Harlem River, including the George Washington Bridge and the Alexander Hamilton Bridge. The Bronx is characterized by established neighborhoods like Morrisania and Fordham, while the riverfronts show significant infrastructure such as the Oak Point Yard and various marine terminals.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous burial grounds, from the Trinity Cem in Manhattan to the Old W Farms Soldiers Cem in the Bronx and Saint Michaels Cem in Queens. The map also documents landmark public housing and development projects like the James Weldon Johnson Houses and Borgia Butler Houses, alongside iconic athletic venues including Yankee Stadium and Downing Memorial Stadium on Randalls Island.
