Hi Kathy, We have the map taken from the NYC guide. Street map of Manhattan, City of New York [cartographic material] / Federal Writers' Project W.P.A. New York City. <http://catalog.nypl.org/record=b19992095~S1>. Our copies of the map are encased in mylar and near impossible to take a good image of, but I've included images of the titles from the map itself in case that's of use.
