Note:
This map is an early version of the larger map that became Viele's 1865 "Topographical Map of the City of New York. Showing Original Water Courses and Made Land" (see our various copies). It only shows lower Manhattan and has less detail than the later expanded map, but it does show Viele's methodology and the beginnings of what would become his great historical drainage map of the city. It was published in a New York State Senate government document and was prepared by Viele to show before the Senate during his testimony on the sanitary conditions of the city.
