A previous developer created a map using Leaflet on the page. The Javascript is very complex and I cannot find where the Leaflet map is instantiated. However, I know which DOM element is associated with the map. Is there any way to get the Leaflet map object from the id of the element?
I.e., the element id is #city-map. L.map('city-map') returns
Error: Map container is already initialized.

Adding a Simple Marker Step 1 − Create a Map object by passing a <div> element (String or object) and map options (optional). Step 2 − Create a Layer object by passing the URL of the desired tile. Step 3 − Add the layer object to the map using the addLayer() method of the Map class.
No: Leaflet does not set a reference back to the map object from the DOM element, because that can easily cause memory leaks. And L.map always creates a new map - it does not find a map like you might expect coming from jQuery. You'll need to decipher the code from your other developer and find the variable the map is assigned to.
