This is a map of New York from 1842. The map shows a scale stating that one inch equals 1000 feet and the island is approximately 10 inches across. Manhattan is in the middle of the map and is surrounded almost entirely by water. The Hudson River is on the left and the Eastern River is along the bottom and on the right. Brooklyn is visible, across the East River. A legend is shown on the right side of the map, listing churches, banks, public buildings, and museums. The more populated areas are near the shore.
