1965 ESSO Road Map NEW YORK CITY Manhattan Long Island Verrazano Bridge W1164
Handsome fold-out Esso road map of New York City and Long Island, printed more than 50 years ago.
This map opens to a generous 23½" x 33½" and has great detail on old street and highway alignments, with cartography by the General Drafting Company.
There is an inset of lower Manhattan, from Central Park to the Battery. The map of eastern Long Island shows the "approximate alignments" of the proposed extensions of the Sunrise Highway and the Long Island Expressway.
The map was distributed by the Humble Oil & Refining Company to promote its Esso brand. It is dated February 1965 in the legend and copyrighted © MCMLXV (1965). The code number in the lower corner is A4, and the code on the back cover is W1164.
The front cover artwork shows the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island. The bridge had opened just a few months before this map was printed.
