[Ante-bellum pocket map of Pennsylvania, with a focus on Philadelphia and Lehigh / Schuylkill Coal Regions] Fold out map (3 x 5" as folded) in contemporary brown leather boards. Cover worn. Strong toning along inside cover margins. Fully extended, the map's dimensions are 32 x 39 cm (folded 13 x 8 cm). The map has 1-inch tear along one of the top fold lines and some separation at junction of fold lines along bottom. Library stamp on inner cover. Hand colored, engraved map showing roads, towns, railroads, the Pennsylvania Canal, counties, as well as inset maps of 'Lehigh and Schuylkill Coal Regions' and the 'Vicinity of Philadelphia'. 1st year of issue of the Tourist series of maps by Mitchell. Earlier issue than the 1834 date used by Ristow and Schwartz & Ehrenberg as the start of the Tourist Pocket map series. With a paste down sheet of the 1830 census of Pennsylvania. Map features administrative boundaries, cities/towns, existing and proposed roadways, canals, and railroads. Features insets of greater Philadelphia area and Lehigh and Schuylkill coal region. Prominent inset of the elevation profile of the still under construction Pennsylvania Canal connecting Allegheny County to the Susquehanna River and thus the eastern seaboard. Of note is the depiction of the 36-mile Allegheny Portage Railroad traversing the eastern continental divide between Hollidaysburg and Johnstown. Canal boats were hauled upon flat narrow gauge rail carts to cross the steep pass. The use of sectional canal boats invented by the Portable Boat Company could be considered one of the first instances of intermodel transportation in the United States but was rendered obsolete in 1852 when the railway between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh began service.…
