Bronx map overlay

1942 vs. Today

click on image for larger version….

An interesting composition sent to me by Anton Torstensson of Sweden, combining the 1942 map with a satellite image of the same area.

I am surprised how well it lines up with all the major landmarks. Visible in the centre is the Bronx Terminal and to the upper center is the Harlem Transfer. A similar combination can be found here.

Thanks for the contribution Anton.
