Castello Plan for New Amsterdam
1660 - Castello Plan for New Amsterdam
The Castello Plan of New Amsterdam is a map of the early Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam, which later became New York City. The map was created in 1660 by Jacques Cortelyou, General Governor of Nieuw Amsterdam at that time, and is one of the earliest surviving maps of New Amsterdam. The map shows the layout of the settlement, including the locations of streets, buildings, and fortifications. It also includes illustrations of various landmarks and features of the city, such as the town hall, the church, and the governor's house. The Castello Plan is an important historical document as it provides a detailed record of the early development of New Amsterdam and is one of the few surviving primary sources from this period of the city's history. It is now housed in the New York Historical Society in New York City. It was discovered in 1900 at the Villa di Castello near Florence, Italy, where it had remained. Shown here is the version that was redrawn by John Wolcott Adams and Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes, and given its current name in 1916.

A New Plan of ye Great Town of Boston in New England in America
1743 - A New Plan of ye Great Town of Boston in New England in America
Considered to be one of the best visual records of pre-Revolutionary Boston, this map is an updated version of the map first published by John Bonner in 1722. After his death in 1726, his partner William Price assumed sole ownership of the Boston Plan, to which he added a decorative cartouche, and numerous streets in the south and west and along Boston Neck. Like the original one from 1722, this map includes a list of buildings with the year of their construction, a list of fires in the city from 1653 to 1711 and a list of occurrences of smallpox.

The Town of Boston in New England
1722 - The Town of Boston in New England
Captain John Bonner's map of Boston, created before the city's coastline was altered by landfill, combines plan and perspective views to depict settlement patterns and the city's thriving maritime economy. The shipping in the harbor is meticulously illustrated, while the topography is simplified. The map also highlights areas where Native American artifacts were discovered, showcasing the history of the land before European settlement in 1630. This map includes a list of buildings with the year of their construction, a list of fires in the city from 1653 to 1711 and a list of occurrences of smallpox.

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.

Plan of the City of Washington in the Territory of Columbia
1795 - Plan of the City of Washington in the Territory of Columbia
Considered the foremost US example of two planning styles: the Baroque and City Beautiful this plan for the city of Washington, D.C. was published by John Reid in 1795, showing the layout of the city’s grid, north of the Potomac and the Eastern Branch (Anacostia) Rivers, up to W Street and includes part of Georgetown to the west. After President George Washington announced the area as the permanent seat of the national capital, Andrew Ellicott and Benjamin Banneker surveyed the site and, in 1791, Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant was appointed to plan the new city. 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.
