Maps showing ethnic communities in 1920 New York City

X-No-archive: yes
NY Times has an article, with maps, about where the various ethnic
communities were in 1920 New York City.

For those who may be experiencing difficulty in navigating and reading the
two maps that are included in the New York Times article, I have extracted
the URLs for these maps.

After accessing the maps via these URLs, if you click on the maps, you will
then get a larger version of that map.

Map 1 (Brooklyn):

Map 2 (Manhattan and the Bronx):

I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.
