This large hand-drawn map, prepared in connection with a lawsuit, provides a uniquely detailed survey of western New Castle in the early 19th century. Not only are the roadways meticulously recorded, but each property owner is identified, and many of the buildings are individually illustrated.

The map was drawn in pencil and ink on two irregular pieces of paper, fastened together to form a single sheet about 78 inches long and 22 inches high. The sheet was folded in half lengthwise and into 16 panels widthwise. Over time, it broke apart at several of these folds. The separated panels have been reassembled here to form three adjacent sections, running west to east.
