The City of New York

1939

  • -- N. Am - US Cities
  • The City of New York...is 310 square miles of rock-bottom land, criss-crossed by 5,000 miles of streets and largely bounded by its 580 miles of waterfront. Here about half of its 7,500,000 inhabitants were born and here most of them work...

    A favorite for New York City, as it shows the city color coded for use, from residential to business and industrial. From Staten Island to Queens and up to the Bronx, this map shows how the city functioned, and really tells a visual tale. An interesting pair of insets in the lower right show how the population shifted in the area from day to night.

    Condition very good with the usual close margins. Image size is 22.25 x 27 (inches).
