Description:

Abstract:

These points were created as a guide to the locations of neighborhood labels found on the Department of City Planning's "New York: A City of Neighborhoods" poster and webpage. Best estimates of label centroids were established at a 1:1,000 scale, but are ideally viewed at a 1:50,000 scale.

Purpose:

These points were created by the Department of City Planning as a guide to the locations of neighborhood labels found on the Department of City Planning's "New York: A City of Neighborhoods" poster and webpage.
