Background on Creator
Hagstrom Company Inc., founded in 1916 by Andrew Hagstrom in New York, became famous for its highly detailed and easy-to-read maps of New York City and surrounding areas. Its Five Borough Atlas was considered New York’s map of record for decades, and the company’s maps were widely used for both driving and public transit. Hagstrom expanded to cover other major U.S. cities, but its main focus remained New York and the Tri-State area. The company switched from hand-updated to digital maps in 2002 and ceased operations in 2022, marking the end of an era in American map publishing.
