New York has changed dramatically during the last few centuries. The geography in New York during the late 1700s was a lot of trees and some mountains. There were some open plains and/or valleys. The Erie Canal and the St. Lawrence Seaway were not built yet, and Battery Park in New York City wasn't there.

Since then, there have been multiple streams covered up, canals built and covered up - tons of changes. Not to mention the shoreline was heavily filled in over time with either garbage, construction debris, spare dirt, or even the remains of mansions. Regarding the streams and rivers that used to be in New York, those started out as sources for drinking water and fishing, and eventually turned into literal rivers of sewage.
