1897 Map of Harlem

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Yonkers Park and the burgeoning suburban reaches of Westchester County meet the dense urban grid of Manhattan and the Bronx in this late 19th-century survey. The landscape is defined by the massive engineering works of a growing metropolis, featuring the Croton Aqueduct and Old Croton Aqueduct snaking through the terrain to the Jerome Park Reservoir. Along the Hudson River, the dramatic Palisades loom over the West Shore RR on the New Jersey side, while the New York shore reveals landmarks like Grants Tomb and the expansive Riverside Park.
