Additional Description: This map created around 1820 shows the street grid laid out over the existing landscape of farms in the area that would become Seneca Village. To mark the future streets, surveyors placed a marble marker or “monument” at the southeast corner of each block; where a corner coincided with exposed bedrock, they drilled a hole and set an iron bolt instead.
