Description
This uncommon cadastral map offers an early overview of a portion of the Lincoln Park neighborhood in Yonkers, New York. The image, oriented with southwest at the top, numbers nearly 450 lots and their respective acreage between Sedgwick Ave., McLean Ave., Central Park Ave., and Van Cortlandt Park (in the NYC city limits).
A profile of the neighborhood’s namesake, Abraham Lincoln, can be seen in the upper center, adjacent to an illustrated view of an expansive corner lot. Also present is an inset map showing the location of the development in respect to the rest of New York City and an image of Lincoln Station on the N.Y. & Northern Railroad.
The map was designed by Civil Engineer Josiah Ackerman Briggs and lithographed in New York by Robert A. Welcke. Likely published in 1893, according to the Supreme Court Records of Queens County. Unlisted in OCLC, but one example has been identified in the archives of the New York Public Library.
