Additional Details

Manuscript draft of an unpublished pictorial map centered on the town of Newton (modern day Elmhurst, Queens). Roads, homes, and general topography are noted, with the setting of a Revolutionary War skirmish appearing in Brooklyn. The well-drawn map is unsigned but bears stylistic resemblance to pictorial maps of Long Island towns published by Catherine and Theodore Nelson in the 1940s-1960s.
