A very early manuscript map of the upper reaches of Inclenberg, Manhattan, in present day Murray Hill. Showing where Bowery Lane diverges into the Bloemendaal Road, commonly known as Bloomingdale Road (present day Broadway), to the northwest, and the Post Road, also known as the Boston Post Road, to the northeast. The land depicted here is shown on Bernard Ratzer's 1766 plan of New York City, and is the site of Robert Murray's manor house, a prominent Scots-Irish merchant, who is listed in manuscript in the present map. "Inclenberg" is Dutch for "beautiful hill" and eventually became known as Murray Hill. The land is divided into numerous plots, listing various individuals, including John Aslop, Jacobus Van Zandt, John Bookman, Isaac Martin, Hugh Hughes, Obadiah Wells, Caleb Hyatt, et al. The land is centrally divided by a "Middle Road" and divided in the north by a "Cross Road".
