About this item

Map, "Station Guide: Independent City Owned Rapid Transit Railroad" 1938. Printed by Board of Transportation

Reproduced from the collection of the New York Transit Museum

In keeping with the Machine Age aesthetic of IND system architect Squire Vickers's color-coded ceramic walls, this schematic, almost abstract, map uses solid, angular lines over cloud-like silhouettes of the boroughs. Each of the system's lines is represented by a specific color.
