It has to be. Chisley Lane is now St Ann's Road, the block on the left that says "Baldwin's" is the Tottenham Hale Gyratory. Berry/Ferry Lane is now Lordship Lane. Top right corner is Harringay Green Lanes.

Yes it is. You can see Bruce Castle (named The Lordship House) at the bottom left and the church beside it, both still there.
It amazes me that the road layout we have now was almost the same in 1619, even that weird kink where St Ann's Road (Chisley Lane on the map) suddenly veers north before it joins Green Lanes. Seven Sisters Road and Bruce Grove are the notable exceptions.

People of the time might dispute that it's upside down and tell you our maps are. :)

If you like maps have you seen the 1619 map of Tottenham? It's very cool if you know the area: you can find farms that are now street names and courses of buried rivers.
