    Sketch of Niagara River. [cartographic material]

    Manuscripts

    Manuscript map, showing the course of the Niagara river from Buffalo to Fort Niagara. Also shows the tributaries, canals, roads and neighboring settlements. Colored. Accompanied by two printed maps on one sheet: 'Niagara Strait and vicinity by Joseph W. Ingraham, 1836' and 'Niagara Falls and vicinity by James W. Ingraham, Boston'. The maps are each 14 x 9 cm and printed side by side on a sheet 17 x 20 cm. Text above maps reads: "Reduced from the large maps in Ingraham's 'Description of Niagara' for his 'Manual for the use of visitors to the falls.'" The Niagara Strait and vicinity map appears to be the basis for this manuscript map.
