The Index for the very detailed road maps gives distances in both English and Irish miles, and topographic detail shows hills, meadows, forests, churches, houses, etc., most of the houses also showing the owners' names.

The British Library has a manuscript map of New York, Staten Island, and part of Long Island signed by Taylor and Skinner, and dated 1781, executed to the order of General Henry Clinton.
