1900 Map of Harlem

About this map

Hudson River views and the dense urban expansion of the late 19th century define this coastal landscape. The transition from the rural estates of Westchester Co. to the industrializing boroughs is evident, with major greenspaces like Van Cortlandt Park and Pelham Bay Park already established against the growing street grids. Significant landmarks such as Grants Tomb and the massive Woodlawn Cemetery anchor the upper reaches of the city, while the water-bound geography of Hell Gate and the Spuyten Duyvil Creek highlights the complex maritime navigation of the era.
