This project has been conceived of as a way of understanding the uniqueness
of the island territory that is home to 8 million New Yorkers. The
hub of a large megalopolis, Manhattan has been and I believe, will
continue to be, a vital force shaping the lives of modern Americans
and peoples the world over. As the past and still present center of
much commerce, culture and innovation, Manhattan both gives and takes.
It and its inhabitants as well as 38 million yearly visitors reap
the benefits of, as William Faulkner put it, ‘All of Everything.’
I would like this book of
Manhattan Maps to be a guide to the comings and goings of this dynamic
city. It will show and describe services for, by and to New Yorkers as
well as the enduring geo-physical, cultural, technological, commercial,
educational, historical and social organizations, battlegrounds and institutions.
It will be particularly interesting to correlate such issues as spcific
locations with demographics. ie. A map showing school locations and districts
and describing student population. Fire houses could be related to statistics
and location of hazardous materials. Police to crime and special needs.
Roads to transportation patterns. Hospitals to health statistics.
