The overlay in this map comes from the Castello Plan, a detailed drawing of New Amsterdam in the 1660s.

At a publisher's cocktail mixer several years ago, I proposed a large (very large!) format book that overlaid pre-Gold Rush maps of San Francisco with modern street plans, showing the infill and development along the waterfront. The internets make this easier.
