Also, [2] which provides the following discussion of the Harrisse Collection repeated here under "fair use provisions":

The bequest of Henry Harrisse, who was both a collector and a student of the exploration of America, included fourteen manuscript maps drawn by Johannes Vingboons, cartographer to the Prince of Nassau, for the West India Company of Holland. One of these, which was entitled Manatvs and was "Drawn on the Spot" in 1639, is the earliest cartographic depiction of Manhattan Island. Two other noteworthy maps that were bequeathed by Harrisse are Samuel de Champlain's chart of the northeast coast of North America (mentioned above) and a map on vellum entitled Description du pais des Hurons by Saint Jean de Brébeuf (who was martyred by Iroquois Indians on March 16, 1649), illustrating the location of Indian tribes and Jesuit missions in the vicinity of Lake Huron. Information about this collection is provided by Richard W. Stephenson, "The Henry Harrisse Collection of Publications, Papers, and Maps Pertaining to the Early Exploration of America," published in Terrae Incognitae (volume 16, Detroit, 1984).

A "zoomable" version of this map can be found at American Memory, and which can be used to view Vingboons detailed locations.

A discussion of this map, particularly in regard to western Long Island, is given at Ancestry in "Keskachauge, or the first White Settlement on Long Island" by Frederick Van WYck, 1924. Source:Van Wyck, 1924
