Excerpt from The Columbus Historical Guide and Map of New York City: From Official Records and the Latest Government Surveys
There are forty-nine squares on Section 4 of the map, drawn to a scale of one mile each. The squares on the remaining three sections are one-half mile each in each direction. they may be considered as grouped in series, those described by the horizontal red lines being numbered from I to 6, beginning at the top and continuing to the bottom of each section, while those embraced within the series of vertical lines are indicated by letters, beginning with A, and continuing uniformly to Y, through the four sections. Every square in the four sections of the map is thus indexed with a letter and figure, giving to each of the 157 squares, comprising this portion of the work, its index character, thus: A I, A 2 - B I, B 2 - etc. These characters are always used when referring to the location of Streets, Piers, Ferries, Hotels, etc.
