Description: A large and rare hand colored map of New York City prepared by Fisk & Russell for the Trow City Directory Company. Covers all of Manhattan Island and in a very unusual variation on most maps of the period, the whole of the Bronx. Most streets are labeled as are public squares, ferries, docks, and even important individual buildings. Interesting features include the Lunatic Asylum where Columbia University now stands, the Croton Aqueduct, trolley lines running throughout lower Manhattan, and considerable detail within Central Park.
