Reference record: Map of Hoboken prepared for the Hoboken Chamber of Commerce, October 15, 1930. Printed reproduction, ca. 11" x 17" wide, as issued in archives 2006.057.0004, Welcome to Hoboken. "Know Your City." Board of Education, Hoboken, N.J. [1969.] This is an inserted fold-out following page 5.
PDF of this map is on file.
The original format and issue of the map has not been determined. Scale is stated as 1 inch = 400 feet. The map issued in this publication was crudely annotated to indicate the locations of the Hoboken schools as of the 1969 publication date (Brandt school at Ninth and Park is barely marked.) Other local identifications were not updated and the map is useful as a guide to the use of the Hudson River piers and docks as of the 1930 date (which was a few days after the end of the Hoboken Tercentenary Celebration, Oct. 4-12, 1930.)
It does indicate directions to both the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels. The Lincoln Tunnel did not open until late 1937, thus it was updated at some time in 1937 or later. The legend for the Lincoln carries the note "Six Minutes to Times Square." The Port Authority literature actually stated "Ten Minutes".
