Item Details
Description
  • Title: Hayward Map of New York City -- A Plan of the City of New York & its Environs to Greenwich …
  • Cartographer: J Hayward / Valentine's manual
  • Year / Place: 1855, New York
  • Map Dimension (in.): 24.1 X 19 in.

    This is an important Revolutionary War Era map of lower Manhattan. The map shown was engraved for Valentine's Manual by J Hayward from the original 1775 map created by J Montresor. This map is one of the most beautifully executed and detailed plans of any American colonial city. Montressor was an engineer in the British Royal Engineers Corps and prepared the map for General T Gage, Commander-in-Chief of British Forces. This was during a time of unrest in the population due to the newly applied Stamp Act tax and General Gage felt the need for an accurate plan for potential military use. City (Federal) Hall, Trinity Church, Wall Street (not labeled) are shown as is Greenwich when it was truly a village. The survey was conducted in secret resulting in a number of omissions and inaccuracies. Even so, the map is filled with interesting details showing streets, wharves, buildings, fields, gardens, orchards, farms, the names of some residents, industries and windmills. There 32 places located in the Reference. At left is a large inset: "A Chart of the entrance to New York from Sandy Hook, shewing the properest channel for sailing, with ye banks and depth of water."
