Manhattan may be the economic and cultural heart of New York City, but for most residents home is their own neighborhood with its particular character and identity. From Marble Hill in the north to the Brooklyn Battery tunnel to the south, this map of Manhattan was published in September 1990 as part of the "Special Places of the World" series and as a companion to three articles focused on New York City.
This focused map of Manhattan draws attention to the NYC borough's neighborhoods, particularly on their character and points of interest to be found within them. From Harlem to Central Park, Midtown to Greenwich Village, the iconic names are associated with the people who live and work in these areas - they are so much more than what is depicted in movies.
Colleges, hospitals, government buildings, museums, places of worship, theatres, transportation hubs and more are featured on this map, helping to bring Manhattan's neighborhoods to life and help the reader see them through the eyes of their many millions of residents.
A vibrant and unique conversation piece, this gorgeous map is perfect for lovers of New York City. It makes a great pair with the "Special Places of the World" map of the entire New York City, published in the same issue of National Geographic.
