This finely engraved map of New York City is based on Tanner's map of the city from the late 1830's. The map extends to include parts of Brooklyn and Williamsburg. Extensive tables at sides list public buildings, squares, markets, hotels, and churches. There is excellent detail throughout with all streets named and many port features identified.
