This image features maps visualizing the heights of buildings across New York City boroughs in 1913. It is a presentation of building density and structural heights, represented as numbers of stories. The maps are divided into three sections:

1. Left Map (The Bronx): This smaller map highlights the heights of buildings in The Bronx. It uses shading to indicate variations in building height, as noted in the accompanying description titled "Heights of Buildings in The Bronx."

2. Center Map (Manhattan): This is the largest and most detailed map, focusing on Manhattan's building heights. It uses different shades and markings to signify areas with taller structures. The title, labeled "Details of Heights of Buildings in Manhattan Below Canal Street," suggests a specific focus on the lower Manhattan area.

3. Right Map (Brooklyn): This map showcases building heights in Brooklyn, with shading to represent structural density and elevation (in stories). The section is described as "Heights of Buildings in Brooklyn."

All maps are sourced from the "Report of the Heights of Buildings Commission, New York, 1913," which is stated in the textual descriptions. The layout is organized and professional, intended for reference or study, comparing the architectural density across these boroughs during that time period.
