City of Cambridge, Mass
1877 - City of Cambridge, Mass
Using conventional cartographic techniques and orientation, the artist views Cambridge from the south southwest as if he hovers above Brighton looking north across the Charles River. His presentation includes all of Cambridge, encompassing its several neighborhoods and their varied functions. The original village center focusing on Harvard Square and Harvard University is positioned just right of center, while Cambridgeport with its numerous commercial activities clustered around Central Square is placed left of center. Meanwhile, East Cambridge with its industrial activities is located in the upper right hand corner of the drawing. An extensive directory lists 132 references. Thirty-two of these, representing the city hall, the county court house, and the churches, are numbered and located on the view. However, the remaining entries, recording an extensive number of commercial and industrial establishments, are not keyed to the view although their addresses are indicated. Interestingly, this view was not a comprehensive listing of industrial activity. The several brick yards prominently displayed on the left side of the view are not enumerated, nor is the city's largest employer, the New England Glass Company, which is distinctly depicted in the upper right hand corner north of the Boston and Lowell Railroad. During its short existence in the 1870s, the Franklin View Company produced only two urban views this one and an 1873 view of Gloucester. Their style was noticeably different from the typical bird's eye view. They combined elements of a conventional map with the currently popular bird's eye view, in that the street pattern was replicated with little distortion, while the buildings were shown in three dimensions and the horizon displayed a high oblique perspective.

The Official Plat "City of Miami," Florida
1918 - The Official Plat "City of Miami," Florida
One of the earliest maps of Miami, this map from 1918, serves as a historical artifact that gives a glimpse of how Miami was developing in the early days, and captures the layout of the city, just 22 years after it was officially incorporated. It was approved by Charles W. Murray, the Miami City Engineer, printed by The Hefty Company and sold by E.B. Douglas Co. of Miami. The map shows the city's layout on both sides of the Miami River, and it displays several city blocks that have been subdivided as well as larger plots of land that were owned by early residents. The map's coverage extends west to the fork in the river and covers the area up to 22nd Street.A notable feature on the map is Miami’s first hotel, built in 1897, the Palm Royal Hotel and Palm Park, which are located just north of the Miami River. The map also shows the location of the US Experimental Grounds, located just west of Mary Brickell's Amended Plat, which extends north to Brickell Point.

Topographical Map of the City of New York
1865 - Topographical Map of the City of New York
This map, produced under the direction of Egbert L. Viele, a Topographical Engineer, depicts the original waterways of Manhattan Island with the street grid overlaid. It also distinguishes between three types of land: marsh, made land, and meadow, and includes information on sewer lines. The map includes three cross sections and an inset map of the northern tip of the island. Despite being copyrighted by Viele in 1865, Haskell and Stokes list the date of the map's creation as 1864. It was originally included in the Report of the Council of Hygiene and is known for its full color design, despite its practical subject matter. In 1874, Viele republished the map in a larger format as the Topographical Atlas of the City of New York.

Map of Boston in the State of Massachusetts
1814 - Map of Boston in the State of Massachusetts
Surveyed by the civil engineer John G. Hales, it is considered to be one of the most accurate maps of the 19th century expansion era, the first to show a comprehensive list of buildings. Different shadings were used to indicate the material from which a building was constructed. It shows property lines, data that, when coupled with those about buildings, provide invaluable information about Federal-period Boston. The map covers the Shawmut peninsula and includes an inset of Boston Neck.

Mangin-Goerck Plan or Map of New York City
Mangin-Goerck Plan or Map of New York City
Prior to New York City's Commissioners' Plan of 1811, the city's Common Council in 1797 commissioned city surveyors Casimir Goerck and Mangin to survey the streets of the city; Goerck died of yellow fever during the course of the surveying, but Mangin completed it and delivered the draft of the Mangin–Goerck Plan to the Council in 1799 for correction of street names; the final engraved version would be presented to the Council in 1803. Unfortunately, Mangin had gone beyond the terms of the commission, and the map not only showed the existing streets of the city, but also, in Mangin's words, "the City ... such as it is to be..." In other words, the plan was a guide to where Mangin believed future streets should be laid out.The Council accepted the Mangin–Goerck Plan as "the new Map of the City" for four years, and even published it by subscription, until political machinations perhaps organized by Aaron Burr, the political enemy of Mangin's mentor Alexander Hamilton, brought the plan into disrepute, and the Council ordered that copies which had already been sold be bought back, and that a label warning of "inaccuracies" be placed on any additional copies sold. Nevertheless, as the city grew, the Mangin–Goerck Plan became the de facto reference for where new streets would be built, and when the Commissioners' Plan was revealed in 1811, the area of the plan which the public had been warned was inaccurate and speculative, had been accepted wholesale by the commission, their plan being almost identical to Mangin's in that area.

However, L'Enfant was suspended from the project in 1792 and his assistant Andrew Ellicott took over, worked on L'Enfant's initial idea to prepare and publish the final plan of the City in the same year.
