Description

Swedish Settlement in the Delaware River Valley in the mid-17th Century

Scarce early map of Fort Christina, between Brandywine Creek and the Christina River in present-day Wilmington, Delaware.

The map appeared in Kort Beskrifning om Provincien Nya Swerige uti America. . . , published by Holm in 1702.

The map illustrates the Swedish settlement of Fort Christina, the first permanent settlement in the Delaware River Valley, which existed between 1638 and 1655, when it was captured by the Dutch.

Philadelphia & Vicinity (and) Boston and its Environs

A rare map of Philadelphia and Boston, from Rogers & Johnston's Atlas of the United States. The map shows the layout of the two cities including streets, neighborhoods, and other major features. The map of Boston and environs only shows the downtown area, Charlestown, East Boston, and South Boston, an area only several miles across centered on Boston Harbor. The map of Philadelphia, on the other hand, is tens of miles across. While the city was significantly more populous than Boston, such a wide portrayal was likely unnecessary. However, this allows for good detail on the areas that now encompass the suburbs and neighboring cities of Philadelphia.
