[edit] Remarks

This 1901 Plan map of Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY was originally published in the 1902 Annual Report of the Department of Parks, City of New York. Map prepared by A. S. DeForest, Cartographer, for the George H. Walker & Company, Boston. There appear to be two errors in the map legend:

  • 13, demarking 'East Wood Arch' (Meadowport Arch on the current (2006) map) appears to be located at the Thatched Hut (burned down 1937); the Thatched Hut is not indicated in the legend. The correct location of East wood (Meadowport) Arch is unmarked, but lies about 300 feet southwest of the misplaced marker; note where path appears to intersect/go under the West Drive.
  • 28, demarking 'Administrative Buildings' appear to be where the greenhouses were located (demolished 1955).
