Manhattan: Harlem River Drive - 155th Street (West)

Harlem River Speedway (Driveway), north from West 155th Street, showing this serpentine roadway separating the Polo Grounds, the Interborough Rapid Transit yards and the river from Highbridge Park. The hilly prominence at the left was formerly known as Coogan's Bluff. On the far side of the Harlem River is the Bronx, being joined to Manhattan by the High and Washington Bridges.
