The Progress of the Survey in New York Bay & Hudson River
In stock
This black and white, antique coastal survey was made for the United States Coast Survey. The surveys provide notes on important characteristics of the area mapped including triangulation between points. The names of harbors, rivers, and important coastal towns are identified on the map as well. These charts illustrate areas that have likely undergone significant changes due to modifications and recessions of coastal lands, making them fascinating to anyone interested in local geography and history. This coastal survey, produced in 1857, shows New York Bay and the Hudson River. There is a sub-sketch of the Hudson River from Albany to New Baltimore in the top, left corner of the map.
