Long Island Map

This is a re-draft of James Hubbard's map of western Long Island in 1666.  Although the topography is truncated, the Hubbard map provides a good illustration of the layout of the villages on western Long Island in the middle of the seventeenth century.


Modern place names, which remain remarkably unchanged after the course of three and a half centuries, are in Block letters.  The section of the original map containing the villages of Brooklyn, Brooklyn Ferry and Wallabout is torn off and unfortunately lost.
