| General_note: Map depicts the Dutch settlement on the lower part of Manhattan Island as a fully developed European-style community, along with chateaux, a defensive wall along the north perimeter, and a hill of justice featuring two hanged miscreants. Oddly, a structure labelled "Quebec" is to be found on a steep hill just above the city wall. See Stokes's Iconography, I, pp. 215-16. |
