Two views decorate the bottom of the map, one depicting about 9 miles of coast south of Speonk, and another depicting the coast south of Shinnecock. The hand color work on this beautiful map is exceptionally well done. This map was created under the direction of A. D.

This is one of the rarest coast chart's out there and one of the best maps of Long Island to appear in the 19th century.
