1900 Map of Harlem

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

The Palisades rise sharply over the Hudson River in this turn-of-the-century look at the northern reaches of New York City and its suburbs. The map captures Manhattan and the Bronx as the urban grid aggressively expands toward Woodlawn Cemetery and Van Cortlandt Park. Significant engineering and infrastructure projects are visible, including the Croton Aqueduct and the Jerome Park Reservoir, highlighting the city's massive demand for water as it grew. Eastward, the landscape transitions to the complex coastline of the Long Island Sound, where City Island and Pelham Bay Park remain largely undeveloped.
