Lloyd, J.T.
Topographical Map of the Hudson River from the head of navigation at Troy to its confluence with the ocean at Sandy Hook. Embracing an area 4 miles on either side. New York: 1864. Hand-colored lithographed map of the navigable course of the Hudson River, from Troy to Sandy Hook, mounted in 4 sheets, overall 1290 x 230 mm. Some old creases and a few clean tears, several with slight loss, the last sheet slightly shaved at lower margin. Framed in 4 sections.
A fine map of the Hudson River Valley with considerable detail on the towns and townships on either bank, as well as the sand bars and other obstructions on the river which would impede a safe passage. Both an interesting touristic map of the River Hudson, but also a detailed navigational map for a river, which was, by the 19th century, an important and busy highway for transportation in the United States. The opening of the Erie canal from Lake Erie to the Hudson in 1825, the second longest canal in the world at that time, gave an increased importance to the Hudson River as goods and raw materials flowed freely each way from New York to the Great Lakes region.
