This is a 1916 Irving National Bank and Redfield-Kendrick-Odell Company map of New York City freight terminals. The map depicts from the Hackensack River in New Jersey to Brooklyn and Queens and from the Bronx to Staten Island. Freight depots throughout the city and on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River are overprinted in red, including Grand Central Station and Pennsylvania (Penn) Station. Wharves along both the Hudson and East Rivers are numbered, with certain wharves are labeled with operating companies. Several railroad terminals are illustrated in fair detail along the New Jersey side of the Hudson, including the Erie Railroad, the Hoboken Terminal of the Lackawanna Railroad, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Jersey City Station. In Queens, the Long Island Railroad is barely legible. Sites throughout the five boroughs are illustrated and labeled, including Central Park, Washington Square, Battery Park, Prospect Park, and Greenwood Cemetery. Most streets are identified as well, although most are barely legible. (more details)
