Additional Details

This map was published after Eddy's death. Eddy died young at 35 on December 22, 1817. He also published a map of the country 30 miles around New York City (circular) in 1811 and a map of the western part of New York State for the canal commissioners in 1811. An extraordinary map maker about whom little has been known . . . Tanner lists the three New York Maps as sources for his New York Map in his American Atlas and has only the highest praise for Eddy. The New York State map is remarkable for its clarity or execution and detail"--Rumsey 2622. Ristow, page 103.
