Description

Bird's eye view Coney Island.

Reproduction bird's-eye view map of Coney Island, New York, published by John G. Mark in 1906. Coney Island is a peninsula of Brooklyn with a beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Development of this beach resort allowed for beach access and included a boardwalk with amusements. After the American Civil War, railroads and streetcars began carrying citizens to this beach get-a-way. Danish woodcarver Charles I. D. Looff built the first carousel at Vandeveer's bathhouse complex in 1876. Fare for the ride was five cents. It had wood-carved horses, two abreast, and a metal arm off to the side for patrons to try to grab a metal ring. Coney Island consisted mainly of three amusement parks that competed with one another; Dreamland, Steeplechase and Luna Parks. Hotels were built nearby and Coney Island became the largest amusement area in the U. S., attracting millions every year.

This map from 1906 includes buildings, rides and railroad lines.
