Additional map depicting geography of the time period (1884-1914)?[edit]
I feel the article could use another map depicting geography of the time period if such a map exists. Something to give the viewer a sense of the functioning of the monorail. Does the Monorail Route exist on any maps between 1884 and 1914? I'm not seeing anything in commons:Category:Maps of City Island, Bronx. Just a thought. --Wil540 art (talk) 00:27, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Wil540 art and RoySmith: Created a map for these two railroads using Julius Bien's Pelham map (1893) as a basemap. Pelham Park and City Island Railroad (1893) Made a few assumptions: (a) what the exact location of the line either on the roadf or near by?; and (b) found a hotel in the middle of City Island, not sure this was the stop. Your comments and feedback welcome! - DutchTreat (talk) 14:14, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nice! I had done some searching for a WP:RS for Brown's Hotel, and didn't find anything; I'm hesitant to put anything on the map that can't be reliably sourced. -- RoySmith(talk)14:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@RoySmith: Uploaded version 2 which removes the stop labelled "Hotel" on City Island. I agree that this map should not introduce unsourced information. Thank you for the quick response. - DutchTreat (talk) 11:02, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
