This ward map of Manhattan shows the area from W 122nd St. to W 125th St. between the Hudson River and Amsterdam Ave on the recto, and from E 116th St. to 122nd St., from Second Ave to the East River on verso. Some notable buildings include General Ulysses S. Grant's tomb. Ward maps were used by fire insurance companies to determine the potential hazards of particular buildings. Color-coding indicates building materials: pink denotes brick and yellow denotes wood. The map was published in Bromley's 1925 Desk top edition of "Atlas of the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan". It is in very good condition with pleasant original coloring. This fine map shows how much New York City has changed--and hasn't--in the last hundred years. Language: English
