Field notes
The map draws on three historical sources: Faden’s 1776 island map, a British army survey from about 1782, and the Taylor and Roberts street map of 1797. Its notes distinguish the sources’ different levels of positional accuracy, from up to 300 m of drift on the island map to 10–40 m at street corners on the 1797 map. The page also notes that landfill has changed Manhattan’s shoreline.
