Lower Manhattan Template - 2000 - 1:1 Scale

by notinlof · 2026-09-07 · Maps

This is a template for Lower Manhattan, for any future New York City builders, it lays out roads, buildings, and sidewalks, and is a map from the year 2000. It is in 1:1 scale, meaning 1 meter = 1 block. I created this myself using the Planimetric survey from 2000. It only includes Lower Manhattan, from the Battery to 14th Street. In time I will post a Midtown and Upper Manhattan template from the same survey as well, maybe even a template for Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and The Bronx. I hope this will help new and upcoming builders of Manhattan to accurately recreate it at a 1:1 scale.
