This brightly colored bird's-eye view of greater New York City extends from Staten Island to White Plains, along with portions of New Jersey and Long Island. Numerous buildings, roads, landmarks, railroads and ferry lines are depicted, and Lindberg’s Spirit of St. Louis is shown in flight at the top. The proposed George Washington Bridge is illustrated, which helps date the map as the bridge was constructed between 1927-31. Issued self-folding, this example is mounted on linen.
