About this map

Hudson River and the rugged Palisades dominate this late-nineteenth-century landscape, capturing the upper reaches of Manhattan and the developing boroughs during a period of massive infrastructure growth. The dense street grids of the Manhattan Borough and Bronx Borough are contrasted by the massive acreage of Van Cortlandt Park and the sprawling Woodlawn Cemetery. On the New Jersey side, early rail lines like the Northern Railroad of New Jersey and the West Shore Railroad service towns such as Tenafly and Englewood.
