"Map of New York I. With the Adjacent Rocks and Other Remarkable Parts of Hell-Gate", Kitchin, Thomas

This small Revolutionary War map shows the area around Manhattan Island, western Long Island, and part of Westchester County subsequent to the British taking control in 1776. There is good detail of roads, towns and barracks. Hell Gate, a narrow tidal strait in the East River, is featured on the map with illustrations of the treacherous rocks and water currents in the area.
