Excerpt from The Configuration of the Rock Floor of Greater New York Accurate maps - The early importance of Manhattan Island in com mercial and economic lines and its entry upon great engineering enter prises which require a penetration of the rock floor have greatly facilitated the work of the structural geologist within the area. As early as 1821 the city was laid out, and the gridiron of numbered streets and avenues has not only been responsible for a precision and accuracy of the early maps, rarely obtainable elsewhere, but has given to even casual geological observations unusual value. Randall's map of the island, submitted in sections between the years 1811 and 1821, now preserved in'the Office of the commissioner of public works, gives the precise locations of all the old farms in relation to watercourses and topography. It comprises four volumes of 92 sheets of map, size 25 by 37 inches, on scale of 100 feet to the inch. General Viele's map, on the scale of feet to the inch, was published in 1874, 'z and is based upon Randall's map. It shows the original shore line of the island, the mainland, the drainage system, the topography, and the location of each exposure south of Manhattanville, all superimposed upon the gridiron of streets and avenues. The accuracy of this map has been abundantly attested by engineers, real estate men, and others, who habitually use it, and, so far as the exposures of rock are con cerned, it has been tested by the writer, both by comparison with the early reports of geologists upon Manhattan Island and by examination in the field.

Did alligators ever really live in New York's sewers? What's it like to explore the old aqueducts beneath the city? How many levels are beneath Grand Central Station? And how exactly did the pneumatic tube system that New York's post offices used to employ work? In this richly illustrated historical tour of New York's vast underground systems, Julia Solis answers all these questions and much, much more. New York Underground takes readers through ingenious criminal escape routes, abandoned subway stations, and dark crypts beneath lower Manhattan to expose the city's basic anatomy. While the city is justly famous for what lies above ground, its underground passages are equally legendary and tell us just as much about how the city works.

“Part lively social history, part architectural survey, here is the story of Broadway—from 17th-century cow path to Great White Way.”—Geoff Wisner, Wall Street Journal From Bowling Green all the way to Marble Hill, Fran Leadon takes us on a mile-by-mile journey up America’s most vibrant and complex thoroughfare, through the history at the heart of Manhattan. Broadway traces the physical and social transformation of an avenue that has been both the “Path of Progress” and a “street of broken dreams,” home to both parades and riots, startling wealth and appalling destitution. Glamorous, complex, and sometimes troubling, the evolution of an oft-flooded dead end to a canyon of steel and glass is the story of American progress.
