The map provides a detailed picture of a strip of land 27 miles wide between Baltimore and Philadelphia, on a scale of three miles to the inch. It is filled with historical details and information including a copper factory, forts, ferries, mills, and more. Some roads are named and all are identified as projected, traveled or turnpike.
