1900 Map of Harlem

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Manhattan Borough and its surrounding waterways define this turn-of-the-century landscape, illustrating the intense development of the northern city and its burgeoning suburban neighbors. The map details the complex rail network of the era, including the West Shore RR and the New York New Haven and Hartford RR, which facilitated the expansion of settlements like Tenafly and Mount Vernon. The shoreline is heavily marked with distinct landings and points such as Old Ferry Point and Willets Point, reflecting a maritime-dependent economy before modern bridges dominated the crossing of the East River.
