WELCOME 1775 to 1779 Pennsylvania Maps WELCOME

1775.1 A MAP OF PENNSYLVANIA EXHIBITING NOT ONLY THE IMPROVED PARTS OF THAT PROVINCE BUT ALSO ITS EXTENSIVE FRONTIERS: Laid down from actual surveys and chiefly from the late map of W. Scull published in 1770; and humbly inscribed to the Honourable Thomas Penn and Richard Penn... London. Printed for Robt. Sayer & J. Bennett, 1775. This version of William Scull's 1770 map (1770.1) was published separately and appeared in Thomas Jeffreys' The American Atlas published by R. Sayer & J. Bennett 1776 and later. It also appeared in William Faden's North American Atlas of 1777 which is the image here from the Library of Congress. The same image was used for map 1770.1 and the only difference between the two is in the title. Sellers & van Ee #1296, Phillips page 674. Scale: 1 inch = 6 miles. Size: 28 x 52 inches.
1775.2 NORTH AMERICA FROM THE FRENCH OF MR. D'ANVILLE IMPROVED WITH THE ENGLISH SURVEYS MADE SINCE THE PEACE, London printed for Robt Sayer & J. Bennett, Map and Printsellers, No. 53 Fleet Street, as the act directs 10 June 1775 (McCorkle #775.2). This map is from The American Atlas by Thomas Jefferys et al, published by Sayer & Bennett London 1776, see page 585 in Phillips. It was published posthumously as Jefferys died in 1771 (Lister). The map originally appeared in 1755 (map 1755.5) and there were several versions. Jean Baptiste d'Anville was a French cartographer published by Sayer & Bennett who died in 1782. The 'peace' in the title refers to the French & Indian war which ended circa 1763. The state extends to the 43rd parallel and includes Delaware as a county. The east coast is shown in this closeup . Longitude is west from London at bottom, west from Ferro at top. The map is printed on two sheets joined along the vertical centerline. Blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 100 miles. Size: 18 x 20 inches.
  1775.3 BRITISH AMERICA, bounded and divided as proposed by the author of American Independence. MDCCLXXV. John Cartwright was the author of American Independence, published in London 1775, and this is one of the earliest maps addressing the topic. It shows the familiar region from Newfoundland to a cutoff Florida and west to the Mississippi. Cartwright carves out some fanciful states on his map in addition to the original thirteen, most with Indian names. A state comprising northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York is called "Senekania." McCorkle #775.3
1775.4 A MAP OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW YORK WITH PART OF PENSILVANIA, AND NEW ENGLAND, from an actual survey by Captain Montresor, engineer, 1775. Publish'd as the Act directs, June 10th. 1775, by A. Dury, Dukes Court St. Martins Lane London. P Andrews sculp. Despite the title this two-sheet map includes only the northeastern tip of Pennsylvania on the bottom sheet. The map also appeared in William Faden's North American Atlas published in 1777, which is the image shown here from the Library of Congress. There is also a 1777 French version by Le Rouge. John Montresor was an officer in the British Army and its chief engineer in America. He was a friend of the famous painter John Singleton Copley, a Loyalist, who did a portrait of him now in the Detroit Institute of Arts. In the portrait Montresor holds a copy of Field Engineer, a textbook of the time. McCorkle #775.9, Sellers & van Ee #1066, Phillips page 675, Guthorn (1972) #144-4.
  1775.5 PARTIE OCCIDENTALE DU CANADA ET SEPTENTRIONALE DE LA LOUISIANE AVEC UNE PARTIE DE LA PENSILVANIE, par le Sr. d'Anville. Venise, Par P. Santini 1775. This map of the midwest appears in Santini's Atlas universel, Paris 1776, and is a companion to map 1776.4 below. Sellers & van Ee #133, 134
1775.6 To the Merchants & Insurers of the City of Philadelphia this CHART OF THE DELAWARE BAY AND RIVER, containing a full and exact description of the Shores, Creeks ... and bearings of the most considerable landmarks ... from the capes to Philadelphia ... is dedicated by a friend to trade and navigation Joshua Fisher 1775. This is Fisher's initial publication of his navigation chart and it was followed by a host of copies from 1776 on by Faden, Le Rouge, Sayer & Bennett, etc. The image here is from Faden's North American Atlas of 1777 from the Library of Congress. This version appeared in The Gentleman's Magazine for July 1779. See Sellers & van Ee #1353-60, 1363-65,1372-73; Docktor #280H5.
1775.7 MAP OF THE PROVINCE OF PENSILVANIA. This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), though the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh; the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. No latitude or longitude markings, blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 55 miles. Size: 4.5 x 7.5 inches.
1775.8 A NEW & ACCURATE MAP OF NORTH AMERICA; from the best authorities. Engraved by J. Cary. Published by Jas. Ma?wan & Wm. Davis. This map is a direct copy of map 1766.1 and engraved by the well known English mapmaker John Cary (circa 1754-1835). Cary was most active right around the turn of the century so this map is likely one of his earliest cartographic efforts. Its source and exact dating are not known, but it is probably circa 1775, when Cary would have been around 20 years old, and may be from a later edition of John Entick's The General History of the Late War, first published in 1766, and also in 1775 and 1779. The rough bottom shows it was removed from a book. The map shows the eastern United States and southern Canada south to a cutoff Florida and west to beyond the Mississippi. Pennsylvania extends north to the 43rd parallel with Venango, Bufflers T., Pitsburg, Wyoming, Ft. Granville, and Philadelphia named. The coloring on this copy is probably not original. Longitude west from London, blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 265 miles. Size: 7.75 x 9 inches.
1776.1 A MAP OF THE COUNTRY ROUND PHILADELPHIA INCLUDING PART OF NEW JERSEY NEW YORK STATEN ISLAND & LONG ISLAND, from the September, 1776, issue of Gentlemen's Magazine, London for D. Henry. The map shows Pennsylvania west to York and north to include most all of New Jersey. The title would imply that Philadelphia was more important than the entire state of New Jersey, which was probably true at the time. The same map with only slight differences appeared in The Scots Magazine, Edinburgh, A. Murray 1776. Phillips page 676, 699. Longitude west from London, blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 26 miles. Size: 7 x 8.75 inches.
1776.2 AN ACCURATE MAP OF THE PRESENT SEAT OF WAR, BETWEEN GREAT-BRITAIN AND HER COLONIES IN NORTH AMERICA. Engraved for the Universl. Mage. 1776.

Pennsylvania extends to the 43rd parallel; Philadelphia, Pitsburg, Franks T., Harris T., Easton, Venango are named. The northwest territories, Ohio, Indiana, etc. are given to Virginia. The map extends to 40 south, so a slice of southern Pennsylvania does not appear. McCorkle 776.1, Sellers & Van Ee #135. Blank verso, longitude west from London. Scale: 1 inch = 95 miles. Size: 10.25 x 13.25 inches.

Bennett, No. 53 Fleet Street, as the Act directs 20th Novr. 1776. This map, of the familiar region from Newfoundland to Florida and west to the Mississippi, was orginally published as a broadside with three columns of text below the map. McCorkle illustrates five states of this map: 776.2, 776.15, 776.26; Sellers & van Ee #144-45, 160. The table mentioned covers a large portion of the map and is titled Evan's Polymetric Table of America. One of the broadside versions of this map is also illustrated in Pritchard & Taliaferro #54.

This map is a later version of D'Anville's original 1755 map. The small text in the lower left corner reads: "N. B. Les traits rouges marquent las subdivision de cette Carte generale representee plus au large dans les trois suivantes." In the right corner is an inset of the Hudsons Bay - Greenland area. The main map covers the eastern United States from Newfoundland to a cutoff Florida and to beyond the Mississippi. This map was published in Santini's Atlas universel, 1776. McCorkle #776.3, Seller & van Ee #136-37. Blank verso, "longitude occidentale du premier meridien", apparently west from Ferro. Scale: 1 inch = 102 miles. Size: 18.75 x 25.5 inches.

1776.13 A MAP OF THE MIDDLE BRITISH COLONIES IN NORTH AMERICA. First published by Mr. Lewis Evans, of Philadelphia, in 1755; and since corrected and improved, as also extended, with the addition of New England, and bordering parts of Canada, from actual surveys now lying at the Board of Trade.

In 1784, Pownall prepared a manuscript of a new edition that was never published. The manuscript came into the possession of William Darlington, who founded the Darlington Memorial Library at the University of Pittsburgh, and was published in 1949 by the university. It was accompanied by a facsimile of this 1776 map with revisions marked by Pownall, and by a facsimile of Bernard Roman's A General Map of the Southern British Colonies in America. McCorkle #776.24, Sellers & van Ee #710. This image is from the Library of Congress.

Faden, corner of St. Martin's Lane, Charing Cross. The Pennsylvania boundary is set at the 42nd parallel with the note "Bounds of Pennsylvania by Patent." The land to the north in New York is called Country of the Six Nations, and the Penns ceded the land to the 43rd parallel to New York largely to avoid having to deal with the Iroquois. The road network in southeastern Pennsylvania is illustrated on this map. This image is from the Libray of Congress. McCorkle #776.25, Sellers & van Ee #1047.
1776.15 A GENERAL MAP OF NORTH AMERICA; from the latest observations. Printed according to Act of Parliament, Jany. 27th 1776. Engraved by Jn. Lodge from the late Mr. Jeffrys geographer to the King. This is a modification of map 1776.3 with Florida now cutoff and a modified tables of distances (McCorkle #776.15, Sellers & van Ee #160). There were several versions of this map as described by McCorkle. The copy shown here is from the 1778 edition of the North American and West-Indian Gazetteer, 2nd ed. London: G. Robinson, 1778. The first edition appeared in 1776 and had the same map except with the publisher and date on the bottom, missing on the second edition copy shown here. The region from James Bay to the Gulf of Mexico and west to beyond the Mississippi is shown. Pennsylvania extends to the 43rd parallel with an irregular western boundary that is the mirror image of the Delaware River eastern boundary. The title is along the top outside the neat line.

1776.16 A PLAN OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, THE CAPITOL OF PENNSYLVANIA, from an actual survey. By Benjamin Easburn, Surveyor General; 1776. London, Andrew Drury, 1776. This map contains an inset of Fisher's Delaware Bay map. Illustrated on pages 120-21 of Nebenzahl & Higginbotham, and an excellent reproduction is in van Erman and in M. P. Snyder, Figure 42. There was a contemporary French version PHILADELPHIE, PAR EASBURN... by Le Rouge which is shown in this image from the Library of Congress, however it lacks the Fisher inset. Although this map is attributed to Benjamin Eastburn, he had nothing to do with it, and even his name is spelled wrong. It is actually a copy of map #1762.3, see M. P. Snyder, page 96. Sellers & van Ee #1312-13, Phillips page 699, Guthorn (1972) #144-6.
  1776.17 (Western Pennsylvania) This is an untitled manuscript map, possibly a fragment, showing the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to south of Wheeling. It is attributed to John Montresor, a British army engineer and the original is in the Library of Congress. It is illustrated in Brown #50 and is probably the map listed by Docktor #276M1.
1776.18 (Delaware and Chespeake Bays) An untitled anonymous manuscript map of the Delaware and Chesapeake region showing roads. Listed in Phillips page 675 dated 177_, dated 1776 at the Library of Congress where this image comes from. This map could also possibly be the one listed on page 677 of Phillips dated 178_? As with the French & Indian War, there are a number of Revolutionary War anonymous manuscript maps prepared by soldiers on both sides showing aspects of the Philadelphia campaign, see Docktor #276A2, 27_A5.0A, #27_A5, #27_A7.
1776.19 CANADA IIE. FEUILLE. PLATE XXXV B32.The title and plate information lie outside the neat line across the top of this French map. According to the Library of Congress, this map comes from Rigobert Bonne, published by Jean Lattre, Paris 1776; so, that dating is used here. However, the map appears older and by appearance would date to the 1750s For example, Fort Duquesne is identified rather than Fort Pitt, so the map is likely based on old maps of Jacques Bellin. It shows the eastern United States to beyond the Mississippi with a misshapen Florida. River networks are shown and Indian tribes named. Five scales are shown at lower right. Intaglio print, blank verso. Longitude east from (probably) Paris. Scale: 1 inch = 120 miles. Size: 11.25 x 17 inches.
1777.1 NEUE CHARTE VON PENSYLVANIEN, MARYLAND, NORD UND SUD CAROLINA, GEORGIEN, FLORIDA U. LUISIANA. NACH DEN ZEICHNUNGEN DERER HERREN W. SCULL, I. FREY, P. YEFFERSON, H. MOUZON, LEIST, ROSS UND D'ANVILLE. This is an anonomous German edition of a map probably originally by D'Anville who died in 1782 (Lister), and the dating is uncertain. The W. Scull map appeared in 1770 which places an early bound and preparation probably predates the early 1780's because the name United States does not appear; the colonies are named individually. The sources for the map are listed in the title and these names appear in maps from Faden's North American Atlas of 1777, so this map likely dates circa 1775-80. Despite the German title some features retain English spellings. The prime meridian is not identified but the longitude appears to be west from Ferro. Blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 220 miles. Size: 7.5 x 12 inches.

They were apparently used to prepare a published map of the same title by William Faden in 1778, although John Montresor is credited with the manuscript versions. The Faden engraved map is illustrated in M. P. Snyder, Figure 189. For several manuscript maps on Brandywine, see Docktor #277W2, #277W5, #277R7, #277W2.0A - 0B; and Guthorn (1972) #132.
  1777.18 1ST. & 2D. POSITION OF THAT PART OF THE ARMY ENGAGED ON THE 19TH SEPT. 1777. 3D & 4TH POSTN. SEPT. 19. A manuscript map attributed to Friedrich von Wangenheim prepared during the Battle of Paoli, September 20, 1777. Sellers & van Ee #1343
1777.19 A SKETCH OF THE BATTLE OF GERMAN. TN., 4th October 1777 where the Rebels were repulsed. Two manuscript maps of similar title are in the Library of Congress on the Battle of Germantown. Sellers & van Ee #1344-45. One attributed to John Montresor is illustrated on page 57 of Marshall & Peckham and is shown here from Winsor (1884). See Docktor #277H5 also. Guthorn (#51-D7) lists a crude manuscript map showing the disposition of American forces and held at the Huntington Library. It is titled "Plan of Germantown Battle of Octob. 1775"; no explanation for the wrong date. For a listing of other manuscript maps on the Germantown battle, see Guthorn (1972) #132.
  1777.20 A PLAN OF THE ATTACKS AGAINST FORT MIFFLIN ON MUD ISLAND which surrendered 16th, November 1777 to the Kings troops... Drawn by T. Wheeler, ensn., 40th regt. This is a manuscript map in the Library of Congress, Sellers & van Ee #1347. There is another anonymous manuscript map titled PLAN OF FORT MIFFLIN ON MUD ISLAND also, Sellers & van Ee #1348; Docktor #278A3.
1777.21 (Pennsylvania and New York) The Library of Congress holds a set of 10 German maps and views circa 1777 attributed to Johann Martin Will with the catalog title Zehn Karten und Ansichten den Schlachtfelden des amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskreiges in den Staaten Pennsylvanien und New York. Included are maps of Brandywine : Bataille am Brandywyne Fluss d. 11 Sept. 1777, and Philadelphia : Grundriss von Philadelphia der Haupt-Stadt in Pensylvanien und umliegenden Gegend. This German map is based upon Scull & Heap's 1752 map and drawn to explain the war to a German audience. It shows the forts on the river islands and troop formations near Germantown; and is illustrated in M. P. Snyder, Figure 50, with a 1778 date. Some of these are probably related to the Hessian manuscript maps listed in Docktor #277R5, #277W6.
1777.22 A SURVEY OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA & its environs comprehending the neck formed by the rivers of Delaware & Schuylkill; together with Province, Carpenter, and Mud Islands. & the several batteries & works constructed thereon. Philadelphia 15th. Decr. 1777. John Montresor Chief Engineer. This is a manuscript map showing exactly what the title says. It is reproduced in Hulbert(1907) which is the image here, though only the northern part including Philadelphia is shown. Phillips page 700, it is also illustrated in Guthorn (1972) page 35. See Docktor #27_M5 for a possibly related manuscript map in the Clements Library which is also listed in Guthorn (1972) #80-21.
1777.23 PLAN OF THE OPERATIONS OF GENERAL WASHINGTON, AGAINST THE KINGS TROOPS IN NEW JERSEY. from the 26th. of December 1776 to the 3d. January 1777. by William Faden. London Publishd...15th. April 1777 by Wm. Faden. The map includes the Newtown - Middletown area of Bucks County and shows the road network in detail. Illustrated on page 93 of Nebenzahl & Higginbotham. This image is from the Library of Congress, which also has a manuscript version of this map.
1777.24 A PLAN OF THE CITY AND ENVIRONS OF PHILADELPHIA. Surveyed by N. Scull and G. Heap. Engraved by Willm. Faden 1777. London Publish'd... March 12th. 1777 by W. Faden. This is Faden's version of the Scull & Heap map 1752.1 and is illustrated on pages 116-7 of Nebenzahl & Higginbotham and on Figure 45 in M. P. Snyder. The image here is from the Library of Congress, Phillips page 700.
1777.25 PROGRESS OF THE BRITISH ARMY FROM THE LANDING IN ELK RIVER TO THE TAKING POSSESSION OF PHILADELPHIA ANNO 1777. This manuscript map shows Howe's route of march north from the Chesapeake to surround the city. The road network is shown in detail. It is attributed to Capt. John Andre, the same British officer later executed in the Benedict Arnold affair. Illustrated on page 55 of Marshall & Peckham. This image is from the Library of Congress. There are two manuscript maps attributed to Andre concerning the Mud Island operations listed in Docktor #277A2, #277A2.0A. A military journal of Andre is at the Huntington Library. It contains several manuscript maps on Brandywine, Germantown, the Philadelphia fortifications, and the operations against Mud Island; see Guthorn (1972) #2.
  1777.26 PLAN OF THE GENERAL ATTACK ON FORT MIFFLIN..., a manuscript map of the mouth of the Schuylkill River with Hog, Mud, and Reedy Islands. The map shows the fort on Mud Island although that identification is wrong according to Marshall & Peckham, where this map is illustrated on pages 60-61. The fort was actually on Port Island. The map is attributed to Simon Fraser, a loyalist. This is possibly the map listed in Docktor #277A8.
1777.27 (Valley Forge) On page 63 in Marshall & Peckham is an anonymous, untitled and undated manuscript map of the encampment at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-78, probably done by a British spy who actually visited the camp. It indicates Washington's headquarters and shows the encampment as three long rows of shacks or tents. Many historians have tried to portray this dismal time as a moral victory for Washington. The map was apparently found in the papers of General Henry Clinton and is now in the William Clements Library. The Pennsylvania Archives, in Manuscript Group 11 #730, has a facsimile map "Contemporary Map of the Encampment at Valley Forge 1777-1778," by a French engineer, from the original in the Library of Hon. Samuel W. Pennypacker, LL.D., copyright by the Pennsylvania Society of the Sons of the Revolution, 1898. Roads, Flatland Ford, River, Bridge, encampments, old headquarters are shown. This appears to be a different contemporary manuscript map of Valley Forge. Docktor #278A9 lists a manuscript map of Valley Forge in the Jared Sparks papers at Cornell University Library dated 1778, and also one (#278A9.0C) in the Library of Congress. Guthorn (#51-D2) lists a color wash manuscript map 14 x 20 inches, and (#51 D 4) a 13 x 15 inch manuscript map dated to 1778; both of Valley Forge and held at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Winsor illustrates a composite map of Valley Forge shown here prepared from at least two sources.
  1777.28 (Eastern Pennsylvania & New Jersey) An untitled manuscript map showing the road network between Philadelphia and Perth Amboy. It is attributed to John Montresor and probably prepared circa 1777-78. Illustrated on the front end paper in Marshall & Peckham.
  1777.29 A NEW, ACCURATE & IMPROVED MAP OF BERKS COUNTY IN PENNSYLVANIA...Layd down from the most certain information and the best of authorities, during the severe campaign...anno...1776...and bearing No Allegiance to the Crown. Text in the left hand corner reads "True Turnpike Distances from Reading" and lists certain landmarks. The middle left corner reads "this Country was organized in the year 1752 from lands aquired in Indian Purchases June 7, 1684~Moungougsins Rles., Sept. 7, 1732~Sckuykill Indians, Oct. 25, 1736~the Five Nations, Aug. 22, 1749~The Nine Nations." Far left corner edge reads "Moft humbly compiled and executed by J.R. Rowe MCMLXXVII." This map was seen for sale as a reproduction and its authenticity has not been verified.
1777.30 (Philadelphia area) An untitled and undated manuscript map showing the operations of the British army in their march on Philadelphia. The Library of Congress, where this image is from, call the map "Operations of the British army, from the 25th August to 26th Sept. 1777," date it 1777? and attribute it to John Montresor. Phillips page 699, listed in Docktor #277M3, Guthorn (1972) #132-2.
1777.31 THIS IS NOT GIVEN AS AN ACCURATE MAP, but only to afford an idea of the progress of the army from the landing at Elk to the taking of possession of Philadelphia. The brown lines are the supposed marches of the rebels. This manuscript map with the notation title is in the Library of Congress where it is dated 1777, the date of the operations described. It was apparently in the papers of the British General Grey. See Guthorn (1972) #132-1-3.
1777.32 A NEW AND ACCURATE MAP OF THE PRESENT SEAT OF WAR IN NORTH AMERICA, COMPREHENDING NEW JERSEY, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, NEW-YORK &C. This map is from the Universal Magazine of June 1777. Only the eastern most parts of Pennsylvania are included from just west of Philadelphia. The road network is shown and the various New York - New Jersey boundaries considered are illustrated along with the old East and West Jersey line. The edge coloring on this copy is not original. Scale: 1 inch = 8 miles. Size: 14 x 11 inches.
1777.33 (Philadelphia, Mud Island) Mud island lay in the Delaware River near Philadelphia and was the site of Fort Mifflin, one of the city's defenses against British attack. According to Winsor (1884), there are several manuscript maps in the Jared Sparks papers at Cornell University done by a French Major Fleury which show the island and the British advance. A facsimile of one appearing in Winsor is shown here along with a more detailed view of the fort . Also, see Docktor #277F6, #277F6.0A-0D, #278F5; and Guthorn #18. Guthorn (#51-D3) lists a manuscript map held by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania labeled "Esquisse des forts sur le delaware, Forts Mercer & Mifflin", and which he titles "Plan of the Attack on Mud Island in the Delaware Novr 1777."
1777.34 PLAN OF THE ENGLISH LINES NEAR PHILADELPHIA 1777, by Lewis Nicola. A manuscript map depicting the line of redoubts built by the British around the city after taking Philadelphia. There are a couple insets showing details of redoubt construction. Original at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, illustrated in M. P. Snyder, Figure 51. The image here is from Winsor. This is likely the map listed in Docktor #277A8.0A, also see Docktor #278A8, Guthorn #31.
  1777.35 THE TAKING OF MISS MUD ILAND, sold by W. Humphrey 227 Strand London. Although this has attributes of a crude map, showing ostensibly the fort on Mud Island firing on some ships, it is really a rather risque political cartoon. Illustrated by M. P. Snyder, Figure 54.
  1777.36 BROUILLON OU PLAN DU CAMP DE VALLIE FORGE, by Louis LeBeque de Presle Duportail. A pen and ink manuscript map of the Valley Forge area rather hard to decipher. The original is at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, illustrated in M. P. Snyder, Figure 191. Guthorn (#15) says this may be the initial plan of Valley Forge. Docktor #278D1, #278D7, #278D7.01 - 02.
  1777.37 AN ACCURATE PLAN OF THE COUNTRY BETWEEN NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA; with the Dispositions of the Forces: Extracted from the Gazette of Tuesday, Febr. 25th 1777, by Stephen Pyle. An illustration of troop movements between the two cities, Docktor #277P4, #277P5.
  1777.38 PLAN OF THE BATTLE OF BRANDYWINE, a manuscript map in the Royal Library, Winsor Castle, attributed to Robertson "Captain of Engineers." In the same collection is a second manuscript map attributed to Robertson titled SKETCH OF THE ATTACK AT GERMAN TOWN 4TH OCT. 1777. Docktor #277R8, #277R8.0A. Archibald Robertson was a British engineering officer who also prepared a watercolor panoramic view of Philadelphia illustrated in M. P. Snyder, Figure 58.
1777.39 (Brandywine) The Historical Society of Pennsylvania has an untitled manuscript map believed to be Washington's map of the Brandwine area and a facsimile in Winsor is shown here. The map is inscribed "Laid down at 200 ps. in an Inch, the 27th day of August, An. Domi 1777, pr Jacob Broom, survr, N. Castle." There is a table of distances and an accompanying legend said to be in Washington's handwriting and given in Winsor. See also Guthorn #9 and Guthorn (1972) #132 for Brandywine manuscript maps.
  1777.40 (Philadelphia) Guthorn (#51-D5, 6) lists two manuscript maps held at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. One titled "Roads about Skippack, Germantown &c. taken October 1777; and the other just "Roads round Philadelphia." The first shows troop positions, camps, and movements; the second is a crude road map.
  1777.41 A MAP OF THE SEAT OF WAR IN THE PROVINCE OF YORK, JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA; WITH THE INTERIOR COUNTRY AS FAR AS ALBANY. From the best Authorities. London Printed according to the Act of Parliament for J. Almon, in Piccadilly, March 1st., 1777.

  1777.42 A PLAN OF MUD ISLAND AND FORT MIFFLIN WITH THE SIEGE THEREOF AND ITS EVACUATIONS THE 15TH. OF NOVEMBER 1777..., a manuscript map attributed to Charles Blaskowitz, a colonial surveyor; see Guthorn (1972) #11-14.
  1777.43 (Southeast Pennsylvania) A manuscript map showing the Delaware, Susquehanna, and the road network of the southeast is in the diary of Andrew Snape Hamond, a British naval officer involved in the landings of Howe's troops at Elk River and subsequent operations on the Delaware. The diary is held by the University of Virginia Library; see Guthorn (1972) #52. There are a couple similar anonymous and undated manuscript maps in the Clements Library, see Guthorn (1972) #132-7,8.
  1777.44 (Delaware River) An untitled and undated manuscript map circa 1777 attributed to Montresor showing the Bristol - Burlington area of the Delaware just north of Philadelphia. Guthorn (1972) #80-20.
  1777.45 MAP OF HUDSON'S RIVER WITH THE ADJACENT COUNTRY. This is a map from Scot's Magazine published in 1777. The same map was in the Gentleman's Magazine of January, 1778. It includes a large chunk of eastern Pennsylvania shown as extending to the 43rd parallel. The main focus of the map is the river, coverage extends from Crown Point south to Philadelphia and west as far as Lancaster. Phillips page 323.
  1777.46 A PLAN OF THE PROGRESS OF THE ROYAL ARMY FROM THEIR LANDING AT ELK FERRY TO PHILADELPHIA 1777. Surveyed and drawn by order of Major General Sir William Erskine by Charles Blaskowitz.

Its preparation is dated to late 1777 or early 1778 and it shows the course of General Howe's movements to invest Philadelphia. A portion of it is reproduced in Brown & Cohen.
1778.1 LA PENSILVANIE EN TROIS FEUILLES. TRADUITE DES MEILLEURES CARTES ANGLAISES. A MAP OF PENNSYLVANIA EXHIBITING NOT ONLY THE IMPROVED PARTS OF THAT PROVINCE BUT ALSO ITS EXTENSIVE FRONTIERS... Paris chez La Rouge. This version of William Scull's 1770 map was published by Georges Louis le Rouge in Atlas Ameriquain Septentrional, Paris 1778, and is the French version of the map from Thomas Jeffreys' The American Atlas published by R. Sayer & J. Bennett in 1776. The image here is from a modern black line reproduction. The map is large (26 x 52 inches) and only the regions around Pittsburgh and Lancaster are shown here. William used information about western Pennsylvania gained during the French and Indian War to update his grandfather Nicholas Scull's 1759 map. Thus, the locations of Braddock's defeat and Bouquet's victory are shown near Pittsburgh, but not much else. By contrast, the region around Lancaster and York is filled with the names of towns and other features. Blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 6 miles. Sellers & van Ee #1297, Phillips page 675.
1778.2 AN EXACT MAP OF NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA, NEW YORK, MARYLAND & VIRGINIA FROM THE LATEST SURVEYS, J. Lodge, Sculp. This map is from The History of America by William Russell, published by Fielding & Walker, London 1778. It covers an area from New York City south to include all the Chesapeake Bay and west to the Allegheny Mountains including southeastern Pennsylvania, all of New Jersey and Delaware, eastern Maryland and Virginia. A large number of towns are located and named, mountains and shorelines are shown in shaded relief. Delaware is not named in the title nor on the map, though its boundaries are shown. See Phillips pages 590, 859. Western Pennsylvania is shown on the accompanying map 1778.28 below. Longitude is west from London. Blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 38 miles. Size: 8 x 10 inches.

A Paris chez Mondhare Rue St. Jacques a la Ville de Caen. This French map is often considered the first to name the United States (Etats Unis); however the name does not appear in the title (which has Treize Colonies) and the map shows only part of the northeast centered on New York. Map 1778.10 would appear to have a better claim since Etats Unis appears in the title and the map shows a wider region, but still not the entire United States. This map includes only eastern Pennsylvania with counties, rivers, and some towns named. This image is from the Library of Congress. McCorkle #778.3, 781.6; Sellers & van Ee #734-36.

Pennsylvania extends to the 43rd parallel with its western boundary a mirror image of the eastern. The eastern counties, rivers, and some towns are named as well as many Indian villages. This map is illustrated in McCorkle #778.11 along with several of the other sheets, also in Portinaro & Knirsch. "Colonie Unite dell America" has been credited by some as the first map to both show and name the entire new United States. Another sheet showing Virginia to Carolina includes a strip of southern Pennsylvania. Sellers & van Ee #163-64. Longitude east with Philadelphia at about 302d 30m, blank verso.
