Coney Island's amusement grounds are laid out here from above, as they stood in 1906, when the Brooklyn peninsula was at the height of its popularity as a seaside resort. The panoramic map shows the rows of hotels, bathhouses, and attractions packed along the shoreline, a view that could only be assembled from many surveyed details. Surveys like this one, drawn by John G. Mark, were often printed as commercial keepsakes and advertising pieces, giving visitors and investors a clear picture of a place that drew crowds by the hundreds of thousands each summer.
