Scarce pair of New York City plans.
The upper map, titled Plan Général de la Ville, offers a broad view from the southern tip of Manhattan northward to Westchester County. It features the street grid (including projected developments), major buildings and public squares, as well as prominent military sites such as Fort Washington and Fort George. Portions of Brooklyn and the surrounding rivers are also visible, along with a few early roads extending into Westchester.
The lower map, Plan Particulier de la Partie Sud de la Ville, focuses on Lower Manhattan, stretching north to Washington Place and including a detailed inset of Brooklyn. A comprehensive key identifies 37 important landmarks including churches, colleges, armories, ferry terminals, marketplaces, and civic institutions—offering a valuable snapshot of the city’s infrastructure at the time.
