Map of the City of Brooklyn
1850 - Map of the City of Brooklyn
The Map of City of Brooklyn, a detailed map of Brooklyn and the village of Williamsburg, created by Matthew Dripps in 1850, provides valuable historical information about the development of Brooklyn in the mid-19th century. It illustrates the streets, coverage of buildings, displays numbered wards, and lot lines. The map also includes illustrations showing major public buildings of the city at the time such as Kings County Prison, Naval Asylum and the City Hall. An important resource for anyone interested in the history of Brooklyn, it was hand-colored to highlight ward boundaries, and was originally printed on two sheets, one for the western portion of the city and one for the eastern portion.

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.

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.

Commissioner's Map of the City of New York and Island of Manhattan
1811 - Commissioner's Map of the City of New York and Island of Manhattan
The map of New York City and Manhattan, created by the commissioners appointed by the legislature and surveyor William Bridges, depicts ward boundaries, significant buildings, and the names of property owners. It is oriented with north towards the upper right and includes numbered references to various locations within the city. Often referred to as the "single most important document in New York City's development," the map was praised by the commission for its combination of "beauty, order and convenience" due to its use of the grid plan.

This detailed map distinguishes between buildings and structures that existed in 1775 and those present in 1875. It also shows the route of the centennial procession held on April 19, 1875.The map provides valuable historical insights by naming landowners and highlighting the locations of significant structures from both periods. Relief is shown by hachures, adding a topographical element to the map.

Lower Manhattan THEN and NOW Map
2016 - Lower Manhattan THEN and NOW Map
Lower Manhattan has effectively been America’s town square since its discovery in 1524. Virtually every major event of local, national and global significance has played out in some way on this stage. Some have been forgotten and some have been transformative in our culture and many have fallen between. This is both a project in urban archeology and a way of describing the city over time in a printed map. The map captures the multiple and overlapping stories that are woven throughout our city’s life in a single document. It embraces America’s history as the museums, monuments and memorials that dot its streetscape do.   It highlights many of the concerns, events and places that the people who lived, fought, worked and visited here thought were important at their moment in time.   It takes another look at the issues that they were preoccupied with and how they solved them:  their politics, religion, social protest, health and safety, commerce, disasters and defense, scandals and crime, education, publications, art and culture, parades and celebrations, architecture and engineering. It encapsulates the events that shaped the physical and cultural landscape within the changing geography at the water’s edge. And it raises questions that need to be considered as we plan a more resilient city in our future.

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.

'Ratzer Map' (1776) Or Plan of the City of New York in North America
1776 - 'Ratzer Map' (1776) Or Plan of the City of New York in North America
This map, titled "Plan of the City of New York in North America," was published in 1776 by Bernard Ratzer and engraved by Thomas Kitchin. Surveyed in 1766-67, it includes detailed information about parts of present-day New York City - Manhattan below 60th Street, Brooklyn north of 30th Street and west of Union Avenue, a small part of modern Queens and Jersey City, New Jersey. It depicts built-up and cultivated areas, streets, rural roads, buildings, piers, streams, ponds, wetlands, relief by hachures, and depths by soundings. It also has a dedication to Sir Henry Moore, the then Governor of New York, and a key to various churches and public buildings. Additionally, it comprises a southwest view of the City of New York, taken from the Governors Island, based on a work by Thomas Davies.
