Pennsylvania is a coastal state, but just barely. G. Krebs, Lith. This map was first issued in 1842 and then again in 1862. There are two maps of Pennsylvania side by side on one sheet. The topography of the state is shown by detailed etching.
Longitude is west from Greenwich.
Size 8 x 10 inches. The map has insert views of Richmond, University of Virginia, and Fortress Monroe. The southwestern portion of Pennsylvania is shown here, but the most interesting feature of this map is the depiction of West Virgina, admitted as a state in 1863. The boundary separation from Virginia is a hand addition and the color wash then applied as though the state has been there all along. The northeastern boundary of West Virginia is not correctly shown, two additional Virginia counties should have been included.
