Large and scarce 1861 coastal map of New York City and its harbor. One of the earliest 19th century charts to depict New York City as we know it today. It shows Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island, plus the Queens and Bronx areas that would be formed from the regions around Mott Haven and Astoria toward the end of the century. Also includes Jersey City, Newark and Hoboken. Inland details are quite thorough especially in regard to developing towns and communities. You can actually see individual houses! Contains a wealth of practical information including oceanic depths, harbors and navigation tips on important channels. Also includes tables of light houses and beacons, tides and magnetic declination as well as detailed sailing instructions. Modern hand-color. Triangulation prepared by J. Ferguson and E. Blunt. Topography by H. L. Whiting, S. A. Gilbert, A. M Harrison, F. W. Door, C. Rockwell and J. M E. Chan. Hydrography by R. Wainwright and T. A. Craven. Production supervised by A. D. Bache, Superintendent of the Survey of the Coast of the United States and one of the most influential American cartographers of the 19th century. Published 1861 by the U. S. Coast Survey. Very light toning, which is unusual for these particular maps. Most folds reinforced with archival tape. Frame is 27 x 30.5.
