The 1842 Geological Map of Long & Staten Islands with the Environs of New York is a spectacularly large-scale study of pre-development Long Island. No matter which end of the Island is yours, you will be fascinated for hours by this map's very finely engraved detail.

The Island's pre-Civil War population was so small that the surveyor and cartographer were able to include every one of the very few buildings then in existence -- you can actually count the number of homes.

Small drawings of lighthouses appear at Montauk Point and Fire Island. The under-construction Long Island Railroad ends at Half Hollow Hills. Coney Island, Jones Beach and Great South Beach are detailed along with Shinnecock Hills and Georgica Pond.

The dense urban street grids of lower Manhattan and the City of Brooklyn are detailed. A large topographical inset map of Manhattan is included at the lower right.

Our Perfect Recreation™ of this extraordinary document captures every very fine detail of the original 1842 engraving. Please note that this very large map will require special shipping and handling if you purchase it with frame.
