1900 Map of Harlem

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

Hudson River views and complex urban waterways define this turn-of-the-century perspective of northern Manhattan and the Bronx. The area is a dense network of major transport infrastructure, including the New York Central and Hudson River RR and the New York & Putnam RR, which serviced growing suburbs like Yonkers and Mount Vernon. The newly completed Ship Canal and the historic High Bridge illustrate the engineering efforts to connect the Harlem River with the Hudson. On the New Jersey side, the Palisades rise sharply above the river, shielding settlements like Alpine and Englewood. Massive public spaces such as Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx Park, and Woodlawn Cemetery stand as significant green corridors amidst the expanding grid. Further east, the map details the jagged coastline of Long Island Sound, where Fort Schuyler guards the approach to the East River near Throgs Neck.
