New York in 1872 vs the Present

I'd like to share you this link from National Geographic that shows an interactive map of New York City's landscape in 1872 to the present. Check it out, it's very interesting!

Notice the land reclamation made on the edges of Manhattan when you scroll between the 1872 and present map.

Thanks to Camille for sharing this! :)
