Honors Assignment: Map of New York City in 1920's

Here is a map that I found that cover most of New York City in the 1920's (Fun fact: New York City is the world's largest city in terms of land area at 8,683 square kilometers).
The map was rather easy to find. I remembered copying down a map of Long Island in Randy's class as it would have been in the 1920's based on The Great Gatsby, but after searching for an hour and a half, I couldn't find it. So this map will replace the map that I failed to find.

  • Edith Wharton lived in Manhattan (see just to the right of the compass in the map).
  • F. Scott Fitzgerald lived in Long Island for most of his life (Closer to the middle of the right edge of the map)
  • Claude McKay lived in Manhattan (Only found one source stating this. The others just said New York, which could mean the metropolis or the state.)
