Johnson's Map of New York and the Adjacent Cities. |

Description |
English: A fine hand colored map of New York City and Brooklyn dating to 1862. This map represents the first state of the Johnson and Ward map of New York City. Prior editions of the Johnson atlas (1860 & 1861), including the Johnson and Browning editions, did not contain a New York City plan. This particular map was most likely based upon the third state of the Colton New York City map. It depicts the island of Manhattan and the borough of Brooklyn as well as parts of Jersey City and Hoboken. This historically important map also shows the largely undeveloped tracts of land north of 155th Street. Central Park is shown in great detail and in and earlier incarnation than we know today with the lakes in the southern portion of the park being somewhat vaguely displayed. In the central part of the Park we find the Old Reservoir which is today’s Great Lawn. The important ferries running between New York, the boroughs, and New Jersey, are all noted. In Queens we can see the newly built Long Island Railroad leaving Flushing station. At the tip of Roosevelt Island where now stands a decrepit ruin, there is a Civil War ear military hospital. Represents Page no. 29 - 30 in the 1862 Johnson and Ward edition of Johnson’s Family Atlas . |
