About the Item
Antique Map of Northeastern Pennsylvania – Rand McNally, circa 1888
This antique map of northeastern Pennsylvania was published by Rand, McNally
Co. around 1888. Taken from one of their authoritative late 19th-century atlases, it presents a detailed record of the state’s northeastern counties at a time of rapid industrial growth and railroad expansion.
The map encompasses counties such as Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wyoming, Susquehanna, Bradford, Wayne, Pike, and Monroe, extending to the Delaware River along the eastern border. Prominent towns and cities such as Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Hazleton are clearly marked, reflecting the coal mining and industrial activity that defined this region in the late 19th century.
Railroad lines, shown in red and blue, weave across the map, emphasizing the importance of transportation in connecting coal-rich valleys with larger markets. The Susquehanna River and its tributaries are carefully engraved, along with the ridges of the Appalachian Mountains, providing both topographic and geographic context.
This map highlights a vital region in Pennsylvania’s history: the anthracite coal fields that fueled much of the nation’s industry and railroads. Rand McNally’s clean engraving and precise labeling make this not just a functional reference but also a visually appealing piece of cartographic history.
Condition report:
Good condition with even toning and a visible plate mark. Original center fold with slight darkening along the crease. Minor foxing in margins, otherwise well preserved with strong detail and legibility.
Framing tips:
A black or dark oak frame with a cream mat will enhance the fine engraved lines and railroad colors. For collectors highlighting Pennsylvania’s industrial history, a double mat with ivory outer and muted red inner will emphasize the coal and railroad network central to this map.
Technique: Lithograph with original outline color
