1897 Map of Harlem

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Woodlawn Cemetery and the sprawling expanse of Pelham Bay Park anchor this late 19th-century landscape of upper Manhattan, the Bronx, and lower Westchester County. The topography reveals a region in transition, where the dense grid of the city meets the intricate water systems of the Old Croton Aqueduct and the Jerome Reservoir. Along the Hudson River, the Palisades rise sharply opposite Grants Tomb, while the complex waterways of the East River and Long Island Sound are dotted with landmarks like Fort Schuyler and Steppingstone Light.
