This uncommon and colorful large-format map was published only once in this atlas. It depicts the portion of New York State south of Poughkeepsie and the western half of Long Island. It also presents half of Connecticut west from New Haven, the northern half of New Jersey including Trenton and a small portion of Pennsylvania. The map presents remarkable detail of towns and villages, roads, railroads, and political boundaries including counties and townships. Cities and larger towns are drawn in street grid format and even Central Park is named. Circles at five mile increments radiate from lower Manhattan. The map is embellished with fancy titling and flourishes, and surrounded by a decorative border.
