Fourth Graders Use Maps to Discover the Gowanus forests and wetlands of 350 to 400 years ago...

Then they use chalk to draw and write in order to inform others about what they learned.
The map is really two in one...a 1766 map of Brooklyn with a modern day street grid superimposed.
Map was created and given to us by Eymund Diegel.
Students add slogans as well as drawings about what was covered over by concrete.



Students trace the path to pinpoint where they are and what was there in 1766.
