Hi Michele, Ward maps are sometimes found in the front or back of some city directories as Harold said. Additionally, here are some sources for Ward maps for New York (and other cities). Ward Maps of the United States: A Selective Checklist of Pre-1900 Maps in the Library of Congress compiled by Michael H. Shelley (available through the FHL. https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/373717?availability=Family%20History%20Library) The Handy Guide to Record-Searching in the Larger Cities of the United States by E. Kay Kirkham (Logan, UT: Everton Publishers, 1974). Kirkham's book has indexes and maps for a number of US cities including: San Francisco, Los Angeles, NY and Chicago. This book is available in many libraries, including the Family History Library where they have it on microfiche.

Does anyone know of a resource showing where these wards actually were in relation to today's NYC? I have a man that was buried in 1849 in present day Brooklyn. I have a man with the same name in Ward 3 in 1840. I want to know if Ward 3 is in the Brooklyn area. There is only one man with this name in all of NYC but if I could put him close to where he was buried it would make the case a bit stronger.
