The mapping of New York State from 1784 to 1900 reflects the nationwide development of a uniquely American school of cartography, the changing focus and technology of mapping, and the initial influence of Simeon DeWitt, the State's first surveyor-general.

The situation for these nineteenth century maps is particularly complex, for the copyright for some maps was sometimes purchased from the author by the publisher, and some publishers also controlled printing, or bought a copyright for subsequent reprinting.
