This is a vintage aerial view of the Andrew M. Ferris Estate, as depicted in the Blackwell Survey of 1860. The estate is a sprawling landscape with a variety of features. At the top of the image, a large, red cross is prominently displayed within a circular arrangement of trees and vegetation. Below this, the estate is laid out with a complex network of paths winding through gardens, orchards, and cultivated fields. There are several small buildings scattered throughout the property, suggesting a working farm or estate. The landscape is hilly, with trees and vegetation covering the slopes. The overall impression is one of a well-maintained and meticulously planned estate, showcasing a blend of natural beauty and agricultural productivity. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of historical maps and surveys, with a focus on detail and accuracy. A scale is visible at the bottom right corner, indicating the dimensions of the estate. The color palette is muted and earthy, with greens, browns, and reds dominating the scene.
