Description
Watercolor painting mapping out a plan for landscaping in Cherry Neck. A large compass is drawn in the upper left. The inscription at the bottom gives the area of each property lot on the map in acres and square feet. The landscape depicts rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, grassy yards and shrubs and trees around the properties.
"Map of Cherry Neck. The property of Gen. L. Hazard Newport Rhode Island with indications for Landscape Treatment by Mitchell & Grant Bank Commerce Building New York" continues to list the areas of each lot on map. The map shows a speculative view of how various lots on Cherry Neck could be developed, based on local topography.
