Photograph showing an actual indigenous trail through the Shorakapkok area of northern Manhattan (Inwood Village), Station 16, Map V. The snow-covered path through bare winter trees shows how these trails, worn by centuries of use, persisted as visible traces into the early 20th century. Photograph by W. L. Calver.
