Possibly the largest and most dramatic map of Long Island to appear in the 19th century. Colton's map covers the region from Newark, Staten Island, and New York City eastward as far as Montauk and Fisher Island. Includes the entirety of Long Island, the Long Island Sound, Suffolk and Nassau counties, the Hamptons, and the Connecticut Coast. A large inset in the lower right quadrant details New York City, particularly lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island City, as well as parts of Queens and Jersey City. Colton's first forays into the mapping of Long Island began in 1855 with his introduction of the 'Traveler's Map of Long Island,' a pocket format map designed for stage travelers and for commuters on the rapidly developing Long Island Railroad. The construction of the LIRR, in combination with the increasingly expensive and unsanitary conditions of Manhattan, spurred massive emigration to all parts of Long Island. Around 1873, recognizing the need for a large scale high quality map of Long Island, Colton redrew his rather small 'Traveler's Map' on a significantly larger and more dramatic scale, producing this, 'Colton's New Map of Long Island.' This map went through a series of editions in the subsequent years, reflecting an urgent need to keep up to date with Long Island's explosive growth. In this particular edition, 1884, the western part of the island is crisscrossed an advanced network of railways. The Brooklyn-Montauk railroad extend eastwards as far as Sag Harbor, and the main line itself extends as far as Greenport in the North Fork. our item will look exactly like the product photos in this listing, including any white or textured borders.Everything is printed on easy-to-frame standard sizes, and we never crop or distort images.
