Antique Brooklyn & Queens, New York City 1901 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Manhattan, Far Rockaway, Williamsburg, Prospect Park NY

Beautiful, antique map of Brooklyn and Queens, when parts of it were still undeveloped. See how the world has changed. This is an authentic 1901 print from a U.S. Geological Survey folio and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Manhattan, Brooklyn & Queens looked like 120 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! This is one of the rare maps with the map legend on the front.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Very rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
