This is a really cool piece showing renderings of Manhattan and environs before Henry Hudson arrived 400 years ago this month:

Can't wait to see the full National Geographic piece.

Being from NY originally, I wasted an unbelievable amount on time on the interactive map!

Great stuff - thanks for the link.
