Today is Historical Map day at Gothamist-- starting with this great map of the Manhattan Coastline from PBS' Center of the World show. Check out how skinny Manhattan was back in the 1650s! Doesn't it look exactly like South America? We haven't been able to track down any New Amsterdam Google Map Mashups, so we've had to hit the archives: check out the maps at Fordham's library, this cute tour of New Netherland, and our all-time favorite map of New Amsterdam. Does anyone else have any good historic Manhattan maps links?

Keep the maps coming. This historical NYC stuff and such is great. The recent "Transparent NY" interactive map was outstanding.
One reason I like going to the Ear Inn is because just a few feet to the west is a line noting where the river's edge used to be way back when.
