Summary
[edit]DescriptionPowells creek.jpg |
English: Cropped version to highlight Powels Creek (bottom center)
A map of the most inhabited part of Virginia containing the whole province of Maryland with part of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and North Carolina. Drawn by Joshua Fry & Peter Jefferson in 1751, published by Thos. Jefferys, London, 1755. This landmark map, unusual in that it relied on firsthand surveys, is the first correct depiction of the Allegheny Mountains, complete with 'The Great Road from the Yadkin River through Virginia to Philadelphia distant 455 Miles' - an accurate survey of what would come to be styled the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road. Français : Une carte de la partie la plus habitée de la Virginie contenant toute la province du Maryland avec une partie de la Pennsylvanie, du New Jersey et de la Caroline du Nord. Dessinée par Joshua Fry et Peter Jefferson en 1751, publiée par Thos. Jefferys, Londres, 1755. Cette carte historique, inhabituelle en ce sens qu'elle s'appuie sur des relevés de première main, est la première représentation correcte des montagnes Allegheny, avec "La Grande Route de la rivière Yadkin, à travers la Virginie, jusqu'à Philadelphie, à une distance de 455 milles" - un relevé précis de ce qui allait devenir la Grande route d'accès de Philadelphie (Great Philadelphia Wagon Road). |
