Nowadays, 3D maps and photos can be viewed on Google, etc., but it seems to be similarly difficult to obtain in the United States. It is listed in the catalogs of prestigious American university libraries, including Stanford University and Columbia University, and is a map recognized for its high academic value. As old buildings in various parts of Manhattan have been replaced by skyscrapers, and entire districts have been significantly transformed by redevelopment projects, it is also a valuable resource for conveying the state of the city in the 1960s. Madison Square Garden did not yet exist, and Pennsylvania Station stood there. There were not many high-rise buildings in Times Square, Broadway, and Rockefeller Center on 6th Avenue, and there was no Trump Tower. It's quite interesting to look at the details. The original drawing was by the German cartographer Hermann Bollmann (1911-1971), and was created for the 1964 New York World's Fair and published in 1963. The size of the cover booklet is: When folded: Height: 27.8 cm, Width: 11.3 cm. The size of the map is: When unfolded: Height: 54.8 cm, Width: 68.2 cm.
