The level of detail in the map echoes the level of depth one can research on the side-bar. The map has the technical functions of an online embedded map, such as Google Maps, and allows for zooming-in to specific areas of interest.<\/p>\n<p>The highlighted portion of the map reflects the Harlem neighborhood from the year 1915-1930, overlaying the current map of New York&#8217;s Harlem borough. This allows for the comparison of the modern city with the older streets, so that when stories and accounts are read, one would be able to further understand their contexts geographically.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2768\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2768\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2768\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-13-at-1.54.50-PM-300x199.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-13-at-1.54.50-PM-300x199.png 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-13-at-1.54.50-PM-768x510.png 768w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-13-at-1.54.50-PM-1024x680.png 1024w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-13-at-1.54.50-PM-120x80.png 120w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-13-at-1.54.50-PM.png 1876w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2768\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">http:\/\/digitalharlem.org\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The maps makes relatively few assumptions regarding the subject matter pin-pointed out on the map, but does emphasize the importance of the focus on mainly the Harlem neighborhood rather than other parts of New York City.
