These maps were recently reproduced on fine antique color parchment and are 11"x 17" and suitable to fit a standard size frame or can be matted to fit a larger museum quality mat. Contained on the maps are finely detailed locations of many of the homeowners or estate owners of New Rochelle.
Please note that the more heavily populated areas won't contain surnames due to the density of the area and the space available on the maps. If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to respond. Also shown are the many planned sections or sub-divisions which were uninhabited, yet the lots and planned areas are shown.
Some of the surnames which are clearly printed are French, Stone, Noyes, Wright, Young, Turner, Thorne, Iselin, Hoyt, Huel, Sawyer, Bell, Keogh, Dillon, Winter, Lawrence, Cashin, Fox and so many more that it's impossible to list! Also indicated on the maps are schools, named streets, cemeteries, railroads and rivers/streams.
