Summary:

"Mapping New York is a richly illustrated documentation of the history of the city by means of the medium of cartography. Tracing the development of New York--from its inception as a Dutch colonial trade post, through periods of huge urban expansion, to the city's current position as a global cultural leader--the book reveals the myriad uses of mapping and its potential as a document both historical and forward-looking, cultural and personal. Featuring over 150 images of the city and its Five Boroughs, Mapping New York is an enthralling and fascinating observation of an inimitable metropolis."--Back cover.
