Section of SE sheet of six sheets of New York Bay and Harbor showing currenttable and scales of both statute miles and a scale of yards. The bottom-mostscale divides minutes of longitude into ten-second intervals. Although theminutes of latitude are also divided into ten second divisions, there is noscale for nautical miles perhaps reflecting Hassler's Swiss terrestrial roots.
