Few views show the harbor as clearly as this bird's-eye map of Greater New York, which brings Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island into a single perspective. Elevated, angled maps like this were popular around 1900, just after the five boroughs consolidated in 1898, when publishers and civic boosters wanted to show the whole sprawling city at once. Since the Statue of Liberty anchors this board, the map is worth studying for how Bedloe's Island and the bay sit within the city's larger geography.
