Homesteads, taverns, and mills are identified, labeled, and even dated. Stars identify historic buildings that survived to 1939, when the map was published. The Indian village where a 1644 massacre perpetrated by Dutch colonists, part of Kieft's War, is noted. Soo too is the site on Elizabeth's Neck where Captain Daniel Patrick and Robert Feaks landed on July 18, 1640. (more details)
