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

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. |

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."

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.

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

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. |

Magazine. No map maker or engraver is identified. 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. |

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

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. By T. Pownall MP. with a topographical description
of such parts of North America as are contained in this
map. Printed & published according to Act of
Parliament for J. Almon in Piccadilly, London. March 25th.
1776. Engraved by Jas. Turner in Philadelphia. This was a
major revision of Evans' map which was extended to
include New England up to Maine. The map was accompanied
by A Topographical Description of such parts of North
America as are contained in the (annexed) Map... . This
reprinted much of Evans' Analysis... augmented
by Pownall. 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

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.

A PLAN OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, THE CAPITOL OF

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.

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.

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.

appears to be west from Ferro. Blank verso. Scale: 1 inch

(Philadelphia) An untitled map that appeared in editions
of J. F. W. Des Barres Atlantic Neptune. It
covers the area around Philadelphia and neighboring New
Jersey and Delaware and was intended to show the
navigable Delaware up to Trenton. It is laid out like the
1687 Holme map, and there is a manuscript version in the

BATTLE OF BRANDYWINE, 11TH SEPTR. 1777, in which the
rebels were defeated by the Army under the command of
Genl. Willm. Howe. The Library of Congress has five
manuscript maps of this title concerning the Battle of
Brandywine, Sellers & van Ee #1334-36, 1339-40, this
is one of them. 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

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)

(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. |

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

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. |

(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.

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

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." |

(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

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.

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.

Kitchin, Hydrographer to His Majesty, from A
Philosphical and Political History of the Settlements and
Trade of the Europeans in the East and West Indies,
by Abbe Raynal, Dublin, 1779 per page 590 of Phillips (McCorkle
#779.9). The complete map covers the eastern part of
North America from Greenland to Florida with settlement
confined to the eastern seaboard. Philadelphia and Ft.
Duquesne appear. In the Great Lakes region and westward
are numerous Indian names. A comment by L. Ouinipigon
alludes to the northwest passage: 'R. of ye Assenpouels
supposed to fall into the Western Ocean'. The map has a
garland style title cartouche and compass rose at bottom
and was originally folded. Although McCorkle's dating is
followed here, an earlier version of this map dates to
1776 from a London edition of Raynal's work published by
T. Cadell. That map has the date 1776 at the bottom,
missing on this later printing. Longitude is west from
