Wall Street Maps Available in Ball State University Libraries


Aerial Views of Wall Street in the Geospatial Resources & Map Collection

Recent events have put the focus of the nation on Wall Street and the financial district in New York. These aerial views of Wall Street are from the Geospatial Resources & Map Collection and Atlas Collection in Ball State University Libraries. The first map, Downtown Manhattan: An Axonometric View of the Big Apple, shows a view of the financial district from 1994. The base of the former World Trade Center is shown in the top left corner of the map. The second view is from the New York Photo Atlas from 2004 in the Atlas Collection. The World Trade Center site can be clearly viewed in the top left corner. (Click on the images for a larger view).

Maps from the GRMC circulate for two weeks or longer. Atlases circulate for 28 days. For more information about these maps and atlases, please contact the staff of the GRMC at 765/285-1097.
