Even though your webmaster was cruelly cast out of my place of business in February and getting freelance here and there, I recently spent a few dozen dollars on the complete National Geographic on disk, 1888-2010.
In the July 1964 issue (I used to have a hard copy when my father had a collection) is a foldout Greater New York map in association with the World’s Fair opening that year, and the Society also did a street map of Manhattan. It’s quite good and I wish they had gone the whole nine yards and did all five boroughs.

I have no interest in National Georgraphic but the collector in me loves the idea of being able to buy the complete run of a magazine on disc, especially when the magazine has been published as long as Nat Geo has. If a similar collection was put out for Time Magazine I would be very interested in buying it.
Google has back issues for Life, Billboard, NY Mag etc
Yep, simpler times when there was no “east village” or “soho” etc..
In the 60s there was a map you could buy of midtown where all the buildings were drawn at a 3/4 angle and in color.Musta cost a fortune to make.My stepmom still has hers,courtesy of American Airlines.
I take it the red lines on there are probably the subways.
