Map of New York City, H. N. Burroughs - 1846

Hand colored map of Lower Manhattan, copyright 1846 by H.N. Burroughs, published by Samuel Augustus Mitchell in 1847 (from his New Universal Atlas), Philadelphia. Original title: City of New York. Note: the original map was cropped to better fit this web page. Source: Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps Inc.

H.N. Burroughs was an engraver based in Pennsylvania and active in the first half of the 19th century. The publisher S. Augustus Mitchell was born in Connecticut, in 1792, and moved to Philadelphia about 1830, where he established his publishing business.

This map has some references that did not exist in 1846, like the Adelphi Hotel on Bowling Green, destroyed in the Great Fire of 1845, and the South Dutch Church on Exchange Place, destroyed in the Great Fire of 1835 and not reconstructed.
