This scarce promotional map was produced by Arthur Crosby Service and given "Compliments of the Chase National Bank." It extends up Manhattan to 125th Street with a table listing 90 "Points of Interest." The wharf area and docks are shown and the rivers are filled with ships including the Battleship Anchorage above the Columbia Yacht Club. The Leviathan is shown moored at Dock #84. The large buildings are located with an elevation engraving in black & white except the Chase Bank buildings are shown in red overprinting. Features nice renderings of the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queensboro bridges. The map is embellished with a fancy compass rose. OCLC shows only one institutional example for this 1928 edition.
