About the Item
Antique Map of Southeastern Pennsylvania – Rand McNally, circa 1888
This antique map of southeastern Pennsylvania was published by Rand, McNally & Co. around 1888, taken from one of their renowned late 19th-century atlases. It provides a detailed view of one of the state’s most historically and economically significant regions, including Philadelphia and the surrounding counties.
The map highlights major cities such as Philadelphia, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Reading, and York, as well as a dense network of smaller towns and settlements. Philadelphia is shown in detail as a thriving metropolis, with its connections radiating outward via an extensive system of railroads, depicted in red and blue lines. These routes illustrate the city’s role as both a manufacturing powerhouse and a key port on the Atlantic coast.
Counties including Montgomery, Chester, Berks, Lebanon, Dauphin, York, Lancaster, and Bucks are clearly delineated, with rivers and mountain ranges carefully engraved to provide a sense of the region’s geography. This area was pivotal in both colonial and industrial American history, and the map captures it during a period of continued economic expansion.
Rand McNally’s maps are prized for their accuracy and visual clarity, and this example demonstrates the publisher’s skill in balancing geographic precision with practical details such as rail and road networks. For collectors, it offers a rare and decorative representation of Pennsylvania’s southeastern heartland at the close of the 19th century.
