Summary[edit]

Description
English: This 1827 map of Eastern Pennsylvania is filled with traces delineating the wagon road network built up in the early Canal Age. Emphasized, are the Lehigh & Susquehanna Turnpike (1804) and the Susquehanna & Tioga Turnpike (1806) which would by design (intent) of the latter's founders, eventually connect Philadelphia's manufacturies to the Great Lakes via Tioga County, Pennsylvania and Tioga, NY, Elmira, New York.

Title
Pennsylvania.
Description
English: Derived of Finley's important 1827 map of Pennsylvania. Depicts the state with moderate detail in Finley's classic minimalist style. Shows river ways, roads, canals, and some topographical features. Offers color coding at the county level. Title at top center. Scale at bottom center.
Note, many counties would change from those boundaries shown on this map
as larger counties were broken into new counties.
  • Engraved by Young and Delleker for the 1827 edition of Anthony Finley's General Atlas
  • The Allegheny Plateau, the Eastern drainage divide, and the emphasis the cartographer placed on the Allegheny Front barrier range is obvious in this minimalist styled 19th century map.
    So lightly settled were the lands, the cartographer has traced known trails, likely proven wagon tracks (primitive dirt roads) throughout; with the exposed and unsettled lands the work clearly shows their convergence through the few climbable 'gaps in the Allegheny*' Front.
    Note this map is three years after the legislation authorizing the Allegheny Portage Railroad and the Main Line of Public Works and Pennyslvania Canal System that would connect Philadelphia to the Ohio River. The portage railroad ascends the gap due east of the mining town of Ebensburg, PA.
