Map (from Sketchbook)

Daniel Huntington

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Map with hand drawn lines and place names written in cursive. The map is drawn in pencil on a gray background. The lines are irregular and appear to represent borders or boundaries. There are several words written in cursive throughout the map. The top right section has "Columburg (Castlewell)" and "P. Holden Ridge". The top left section has "Candleridge" and "Deer hill". The middle section has several words including "flood (may overflow) if rain", "T. Bren", and "liquid". The bottom section has "Bottom field", "W.P.", and "Ostendium". The map appears to be hand drawn and has a rough, sketchy quality. The overall appearance is that of a rough draft or a sketch. Map by Daniel Huntington.
