Old topo maps

[+Lunatic728]

Howdy all,

 

I am looking for old Topographic maps from 1840 to 1885 for the North East section of Pa. I have found some from 1891 and later but can't find anything earlier.

 

Thanks

Looks like Zhanna has one 15' quad that has part of eastern PA and part of NJ:

This site might give some insight into early topographic mapping.

There are two links that I am aware of for historic quads:

 

First:

 

Maptech

 

and then

 

Univ. New Hampshire

If neither of these works for you, you should try the libraries at Penn State or UPenn, especially the Penn State map library.

Thanks for the information. I knew this was the right place to ask.
