'Hagstrom’s Map of New York — House Number and Transit Guide'
Manhattan’s house numbers, subway routes and elevated railways make this colourful folding map a detailed guide to everyday travel in post-war New York. Central Park and the Hudson waterfront stand out among the densely indexed streets. Hagstrom’s printed code G-TS dates the issue to March 1954. The transport network corroborates that date: the Third Avenue elevated ends at Chatham Square, its City Hall branch having closed on 31 December 1953, while the remaining Manhattan service, withdrawn on 12 May 1955, is still shown. The East Side Airlines Terminal, opened in December 1953, also appears. The rear cover advertises Hagstrom’s maps and atlases with their original retail prices, complementing this record of a city moving between elevated trains, subways and airport connections.
