Signed 6th Dec. 1788, Gother Mann Captain of Command, Royal Engineers. Library and Archives Canada: NMC4435.<br />

Produced by Gother Mann in December 1788, this map presents the earliest detailed proposal for what would become York. Featuring neat residential squares and a large central common, the plan proved too grand for the early settlement. Note the early spelling of the harbour as “Torento.”
