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.

If you know lower Manhattan, you’ll immediately find the old cobblestone versions of streets you’ve walked. Follow Broadway north from the Battery past Wall Street to Chambers Street, opposite the “Commons” where City Hall and its Park are now located.

"Absolutely perfect and magnificent".
