Description |
English: A visually stunning and extremely rare 1874 pocket map of the greater New York City area innovatively combining detailed land surveys with the work of the U.S. Coast Survey. Covers the New York City area from Sandy Hook and Monmouth County north to include Staten Island, Newark, Manhattan and Yonkers. Extends eastward into Long Island as far as Hicksville, Jericho and Freeport. Includes all of Brooklyn, Jamaica Bay, Queens, parts of Westchester, and much of northeastern New Jersey. Offers a detailed view of the streets, roadways, railroads, farmlands, islands, swamps, and parks of the region. Includes the Croton Aqueduct. Nautically, this map is heavily based upon the 1856 U.S. Coast survey of the same region compiled under the direction of A. D. Bache. Offers thousands of depth soundings, noting channels, buoys and lighthouses where appropriate. Published by Matthew Dripps working in conjunction with the Asher and Adams firm. |
