Talk:Stuyvesant Farm

Historical Maps
The Manatus map at the full extent makes Bowery No. 1 difficult to find. Zooming into the map with a focus on the current lower Manhattan makes it easier to find, shown below as Option B: I propose updating the article to show Option B. Comments? - DutchTreat (talk) 11:34, 29 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Added Option C with a tigher crop/zoom into the farm and creek - DutchTreat (talk) 11:43, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, these are great. I like Option C best, as it focuses on the manor house and creek, while still showing the relationship to Fort Amsterdam.--Pharos (talk) 16:14, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I am also enjoying the detail available in Option C. I'll replace the current map with this one. - DutchTreat (talk) 13:30, 31 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Created a cropped image on Commons due to rendering issues with the Annotated image:
 * Option D


 * Option E

Ratzer map with inset
Created a map with the Stuyvesant Farm highlighted based on Ratzer's Plan of New York (1770). I propose this diagram replace the two annotated images from the same basemap. This one image has some usability benefits by reducing the screen space used in the article and makes zooming to a higher resolution easier. Comments welcome. - DutchTreat (talk) 10:28, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Two annotated images of Ratzer map replaced with one merged view. - DutchTreat (talk) 11:42, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Harv error
There's an error with what is currently footnote 27 ( Burrows & Wallace 1999, p. 50); that footnote uses sfn formatting but there isn't a linked bibliography; also there isn't actually a Burrows & Wallace 1999 source listed, it appears to be 1998. Not having the source, I don't want to presume to correct it. Vanamonde (Talk) 02:52, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
