The two-part map, Plan of the City of New York, in North America: Surveyed in the Years 1766 & 1767, is the most comprehensively detailed and accurate map of the City at the time of the American Revolution. The map shows with equal clarity the pre-development forests and salt meadows as well as a number of cultivated fields and manor houses.

Look for "A. Van Dyck's mill" in Red Hook and Livingston's Distillery on the bay just below Brooklyn Heights. To the east, see the dozen or so structures that constituted Brookland Parish, Brooklyn's first "downtown". Then follow the Road to Jamaica and the Road to Flatbush south and east through meadows, fields and woods.

"Absolutely perfect and magnificent".
