Map of the Day – Mapping the History of New York City’s Landmarks

March 21, 2016 By GISuser

An interesting and fun map from the city of NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission lets you discover thousands of landmarks of interest in the Big Apple 

Discover New York city landmarks

Discover New York city landmarks

This description comes via Travel & Leisure Magazine… Called Discover NYC Landmarks, the web-based map provides information on specific buildings and neighborhoods, historic pictures, and more. Users can select certain points in an area to learn fun facts about a given site including who constructed the building and when. To know more, let’s delve deeper into these amazing New York facts.

About the effort:

The Landmarks Preservation Commission designates four different types of landmarks:

Individual Landmarks | the exteriors of individual buildings and sites, ranging from farmhouses to skyscrapers. Examples include the Woolworth Building, the Louis Armstrong House in Queens and the Cyclone roller coaster in Coney Island, Brooklyn

Interior Landmarks | building interiors that are “customarily open or accessible to the public” and meet the criteria for individual landmarks. Examples include the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia Airport, the lobby of the Empire State Building and the concourse and waiting room at Grand Central Terminal

Scenic Landmarks | City-owned parks or other landscape features, such as Prospect Park, Central Park and Ocean Parkway

Historic Districts | areas of the city that possess architectural and historical significance and a distinct “sense of place”. Examples include the Brooklyn Heights, Greenwich Village, Ridgewood and Grand Concourse historic districts

Call up the web service (powered by Esri) HERE
