This fascinating map of New York City covers Manhattan from the Battery to Central Park, as well as Brooklyn and small parts of Queens, Jersey City, and Hoboken. An inset at bottom right details the northern part of the island. Streets, railroads, ferry routes (with notes on distance), parks, and ship yards are shown. The Brooklyn Bridge, still under construction at the time, appears.
