This map shows a portion of Manhattan that was surveyed by Wm. Bridges in November of 1808. Drawn on a scale of 400 ft. to an inch. Although the survey was done in 1808, this map was not published until circa 1839. It is in fact, a very early lithographic work by Nathaniel Currier and bears his pre-Currier & Ives imprint "N. Currier's Lith. 152 Nassau Cor. of Spruce St. N.Y." The map shows adjoining land ownership, the Hudson River, and with the planned Bloomington Road (now Broadway) shown as a dotted line. This seldom seen chart is a very early stone lithograph by the famous Mr. Currier.
