1898 Map of Staten Island
USGS Topo · Published 1898About this map
Staten Island and the surrounding industrial waterways of New Jersey and New York appear here during a period of massive maritime and rail expansion. The map captures the complex harbor geography of the late nineteenth century, from the military bastions of Fort Wadsworth and Fort Tompkins guarding The Narrows to the busy shipping lanes of the Kill Van Kull and Arthur Kill. A dense web of transit infrastructure is visible, including the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railroad and the northern reach of the Morris Canal.
