Beschreibung

Farm line map of the area on the Upper West side of Manhattan, from 96th to 107th Streets, 8th Avenue (now Central Park West) to the Hudson River. Full original color by lot. Modern linen backing, with very light staining near the top, some earlier areas of cracking or chipping are present. This is one of the large, and now very scarce, which showed 17th and 18th century farm lines superimposed over the contemporary grid system. Very bright and colorful, these maps are among the most detailed 19th century maps for individual Manhattan neighborhoods. This map shows much of the Upper West Side, with the original farm buildings shown in dark red. The Hudson River Railroad is shown along the river running along 12th Avenue. There are also hypothetical extensions of the cross streets into the river which intersect with an imagined 13th Avenue next to a revised river shoreline. At the center of this map, east of 11th (West End) Avenue between 99th and 102nd Streets is "Part of the Le Roy Farm, Not Mapped," which is a large green area not divided into lots as the rest of the map is. The Croton Aqueduct is shown running just west of 9th Avenue from the bottom edge of the map north to 105th Street. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers m01630
