eastern Pennsylvania. In 1614-15 Captain Cornelius Hendricksen (Schipper Cornelis Hendricx) sailed up
the Delaware River to the area that is now Philadelphia.

Facsimile published by John Carter Brown Library of an original map appearing in "The Blathwayt Atlas,

and Plantations, the committee of the Privy Council charged by Charles II to advise him on matters
concerning England's overseas colonies. William Blathwayt started working for that office in 1675. This
atlas remained in his family until 1910, and was purchased by the Brown Library the following year. This
map is a copy of Thornton's map of Pennsylvania. Four columns of text "A brief Account" describing the
riches of the new colony appear on the bottom.

John Thornton, 1681
A Map of Some of the South and eastbounds of Pennsylvania in America being partly Inhabited. Sold by
John Thornton at the Signe of England Scotland and Ireland in the Minories, and by John Seller at his Shop
in Popeshead Alley in Cornhill London
Size: 42x52 cm. Scale of 1: 400,000
G3820 1681 .T Vault
No cartographer's name appears on this map, but the Library of Congress gives John Thornton credit for
this map. Thornton and John Seller were publishers of this map. Tyacke (in "English Mapping of
America," Mercator Society, New York Public Library, 1986) credits Thomas Holme as the author of this
map, but I have been unable to find any other substantiation of this claim. This is thought to be the first
distinct map of Pennsylvania. The map shows easily navigable rivers and line drawings of trees commonly
found in Pennsylvania. "Fort Sesquahana," an abandoned Indian fort, and a few settlements along the
Delaware River are the only place names indicated. Many features of the map were copied from Augustine
Herrman's 1673 map of Maryland. Other copies of this map, but not this one, include four columns of text
"A brief Account" describing the natural resources of the colony, William Penn's plans for governing the
colony, and suggestions about what items prospective immigrants should bring to the new colony.

"Pennsylvania Maryland Boundaries 1739 & (1635) (published 1740)"
Photostat of a map appearing in Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd series, volume 16, 1891. Authorship of the
map has been attributed to Benjamin Eastburn. The map originally appeared in two publications of the
Chancery Court in London in the case between John, Thomas, and Richard Penn, Plaintiffs and Charles
Calvert (Lord Baltimore), Defendant to try to enforce the articles of agreement of 1732 signed by the two
sides. Various boundary lines proposed by the Penns and Lord Baltimore are drawn on the map which was
engraved by John Senex. Cape Henlopen is shown about 22 miles south of it's correct position at the
mouth of the Delaware Bay. This was done to show that Penn's lands extended south of Delaware Bay,
and therefore the Bay was under Penn's jurisdiction. The litigation was decided in Penn's favor in 1750 and
was the basis for the Mason-Dixon survey of 1763 to 1767 (See N. Wainwright, "Tale of a Runaway
Cape," Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, volume 87, number 3, July 1963, Historical
Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, pages 251-293).
