Pottsville, PA: P. W. Sheafer, 1867. 32 1/2 x 44 (full sheet). Lithograph on bank note paper. Was once folded. Full margins. Some separation at folds, with tear into map right hand side, all repaired with acid-free mending tape.  Else, very good condition.  

Symbols are given throughout for: Rolling Mills, Furnaces, Forges, Bloomeries, Steel works, Railroads, Canals, Iron Mines, Coal Areas, Limestone Areas, and Oil Regions. The map also gives full information as described above for a circumference of approximately 100 additional miles around the borders of Pennsylvania. The amount of geological development shown on this map is remarkable considering the time immediately after the Civil War. A fine map.
