The map shows the addition of Potter County (1835) and Monroe County (1836) but not Clarion, which was organized in 1839. The map is finely engraved with detail throughout locating many roads, towns, and railroads with good topographical information. Printed on fine banknote paper and folds into original, gilt-stamped green cloth covers measuring 3" x 5".
