Map of Pennsylvania, constructed from the County Surveys authorized by the State; and other original Documents by John Melish . . . 1826

John Melish’s map of Pennsylvania represents a pivotal moment in early American cartography, serving as a model for state-sponsored mapping efforts and exemplifying the growing importance of precision in geographic representation at the beginning of the 19th century. Superseding Reading Howell's maps, which had served Pennsylvanian citizens for three decades, Melish’s map was the product of comprehensive surveys mandated by the Pennsylvania state legislature, coupled with official guidance and financial backing. This level of support distinguished Melish’s project from most other state maps, which typically relied on less formal resources and often lacked sufficient accuracy and detail.
