This unique c. 1801 manuscript map is likely the earliest to specifically illustrate modern-day Tribeca, New York City. The survey dates to 1801, but this manuscript copy was likely drawn around 1808-1809 when the author Amos Corning held the office of City Surveyor. It details lands owned by Anthony Lispenard Bleecker (1741 - 1816), here subdivided into properties, on some of which landholders are identified. (more details)
