Finally found it!! More than #200years ago #JohnRandelJr, in the years 1810 and 1811, marked with iron bolts and marble slabs a big chunk of #Manhattan Island. He helped map out the #grid we know now of avenues and streets North of the densely populated lower tip of the #islandofmanhattan. The above pictured #survey #bolt is a #hiddengem into marking that process 5 decades before #NewYork's #CentralPark was even designed! #nyc #landmark #history #johnrandel #parkmystery #outintheopen #surveybolt (at Central Park)

The Randel Farm map created by John Randel Jr. is the first map that plotted the 1811 "Commissioner's Plan" which established the Manhattan street grid—from Houston St. to 155th Street—and also encompasses the rest of the island, from The Battery to Inwood. It consists of 92 hand-drawn and hand-colored panels, created over the span of 2 years.

Last weekend was the first time ever that it was displayed, in full.

It’s also available digitally (requires Flash).
