Notes

1 The map was produced by American engineer Egbert L. Viele with the title Sanitary & Topographical Map of the City and Island of New York. The Viele Map (as it came to be known) was one of a series of representations of the city grid that started with John Randel’s initial plan certified by the city’s street commissioners in 1811.

When describing the conditions of the old Mannahatta (the Lenni Lenape name for the island, meaning the land of many hills) before the establishment of the first colonies, Sanderson refers to a luxuriant and very diverse landscape, crossed by many streams that nourished fertile valleys, wetlands, and dense forests.
