Map of Aronsburg, Pennsylvania (1796): From Reid's Pennsylvania Map


This black and white map, published in 1796, depicts Aronsburg, Pennsylvania, founded by Aaron Levy in 1786. It's the first state of Reid's early map of Pennsylvania, based on Reading Howell's 1792 map—the first detailed map to correctly show Pennsylvania's boundaries. The map features updated and erased New York-Pennsylvania boundaries, topography, towns, donation lands, counties, townships, and a road network. The Allegheny, Ohio, Schuylkill, Little Schuylkill, Delaware, and Potomac Rivers are also shown. Engraved by D. Martin, this map was also published in Winterbotham's America. It measures 17.8 x 12.7 inches. References: Wheat & Brun #450.
