This pocket map of the state is intricately detailed, with counties subdivided into individually colored townships. The robust railroad network is delineated throughout, including many named lines. Counties are consistent with present-day configurations, having added the final county, Lackawanna, in 1878. Given the level of detail shown, the map would have been ideal for travelers passing through the state at the time. Surrounded by an elaborate decorative border. Issued on thin banknote-style paper. Covers not present.
