I have a guidebook published in 1964 called HART'S GUIDE TO NEW YORK, and it features a nice little section of subway maps that I THINK were done by Hagstrom, but am not too sure if they are - they certainly follow the Hagstrom color code, although the gold used for the BMT looks a little darker than that used on the folding maps. The maps themselves are interesting and include a full system wide map that shows only major end terminals and individual borough maps that show all stations. All maps are - unusually - fairly realistic geographically too.

They also have, separated by divisions, trunk line maps which show approximate running times between major stations. For PATH, they combine a realistic map with running times between stations.

Wish I could scan those maps without breaking that book....
