"Geological Map of Long & Staten Islands with the Environs of New York", Mather, W. W.

This large map is undoubtedly one of the best, most detailed depictions of Long Island. Although labeled a geological map, its hand coloring, detailing of roads, villages, communities, and other political information make it a most desirable map. It covers Long Island and the rest of southern New York state, as well as Westchester and Rockland counties and northeastern New Jersey. At bottom right is a large inset of "New York Island" detailing the major streets and topography. The colorful sheet is further embellished with fancy lettering in the title. A large map on two sheets joined, as issued. From the topographical surveys of J. Calvin Smith, lithographed by Endicott.
