[OHM] locating the Polo Grounds?

[SK53]

That 1924 aerial image seems to come from here:
http://gis.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/?z=8&p=1000555,239807&c=GIS1924&s=g:NEIGHBORHOOD,242

Either way the Polo Grounds were somewhat more up-river than I expected. I
note that we dont have the historic steps which gave access to them on OSM.
BTW, see
