What year was the first Neighborhood map made

[EE Broadway Local]

Just a guess - I think 1979.

That's what I was thinking. Never saw them with the old color scheme; it seemed to come with the new maps. Maybe a year or so after that? I do remember that a lot of places that had them had 1985 edition, which is the oldest copyright year I remember seeing. So possibly then.

Wrong, it was John Taurenac, who designed the 1979 Subway map.

 

Michael hertz was the one who designed the map as we have it now.
