This historic map of White Plains, dating to October 1776, was hand-drawn by a soldier from Massachusetts just days before the Battle of White Plains. It shows the area along Broadway (Route 22) from what is now downtown White Plains to the Town of North Castle. Drawn on two pages of a ledger belonging to a carriage maker in Massachusetts, it is believed to have been made by one of two brothers, James and John Cochran, who were serving in the Continental Army at the time. The map was returned to White Plains some 200 years later.
