Beschreibung

Small wall map in fine condition, with original rollers and linen backing. This is a manuscript plan of lots in western Potter County and eastern McKean County in northwestern Pennsylvania along the New York State border. There are no identifying indications of any sort such as a title, place of production, date or surveyor. It appears to be a map of an administrative district of some sort, likely related to either mining or drilling as almost all of the rectangular lots into which this district has been divided bear a number and a name. Most of the lot names are last names, but there are others such as Friendship, Blooming Grove, and Farmers Fancy which sound more like mining or drilling concerns. However, each lot has its own distinct name, with no apparent duplication of names across the 200+ lots defined. The eastern boundary of the district (which borders on District 2 which is named), is near the only town identified on the map, Coudersport. The western boundary is just west of the Allegheny River. The district cuts across county lines and does not include all of either of the two counties included. It also appear that there are two different sets of manuscript notations on the map, done at very different times. The lot names described above look to have been done later, while the lot numbers, some land owner names, and identification of specific trees which denoted the intersections of the lot lines were earlier.
