1900 Map of Harlem

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

H-U-D-S-O-N-R-I-V-E-R- and the Bronx River anchor this late 19th-century landscape of northern Manhattan, the Bronx, and lower Westchester County. The map details a period of transition as estates give way to organized urban planning, evidenced by the vast acreage of Van Cortlandt Park and the meticulously laid out Woodlawn Cemetery. Along the eastern shore, the geography of Long Island Sound is defined by maritime landmarks like City Island, Hart Island, and the Steppingstone Light near Throgs Neck.
