Realms of Gold overview

Murphy D. Smith created this guide to the map holdings of the American Philosophical Society in 1991. The guide is divided into four main sections:

The bulk of the maps described are found within the printed maps section, which is further subdivided by geographic location. The printed guide was digitized in 2005 and supplemented by the addition of a significant number of digital images of the maps described. These digital representations are maintained in JPEG2000 format, an emerging standard for image compression. Each entry for which there is a corresponding scan features a small thumbnail that links to the JPEG2000 image. Not every map in the collection was scanned for this project. Inventories of all the digitized maps may be found in the following locations:


Scope and content
The printed maps are arranged geographically according to the Dewey Decimal System. Each major subdivision is presented as a unique page as follows:

Arrangement
The printed maps are arranged in the order in which they were catalogued, which for the most part follows the Dewey Decimal area classification system. Within a given area or country they are arranged chronologically. "Wheat numbers" are given for maps cited in James Clement Wheat and Christian F. Brun's Maps and charts published in America before 1800. A bibliography. The printed maps are described as follows as the information warrants:
  • Date (date of reproduction is used for facsimiles)
  • Title or description (supplied titles are bracketed)
  • Number of pieces (if more than one)
  • Scale
  • Cartographer(s)
  • Engraver(s)
  • Size (neat line, plate impression, or size of paper; unless otherwise noted, measurements are taken from neat lines)
  • Inset(s)
  • Coloring
  • Provenance
  • Note (cross-references, bibliographical references, etc.)
  • Wheat number
  • Call number

The idea of a canal linking the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay was of long standing when the Society formed a committee to arrange for a survey of the general area. Merchants of Philadelphia financed the early surveys and on 16 June 1769, Thomas Gilpin, one of the "Merchants' appointees," exhibited his plan of a canal with the elevation between Chester River and Duck Creek, and he included an estimate "for flat bottomed boats, carrying 1,000 bushels, £8050; for shallops &c., £28,298." The Society also received an elevation of the land between the Bohemia and Apoquinimy Rivers with the locks necessary to carry vessels from the tidewater of the Delaware to that of the Chesapeake. "The Distance from Tide to Tide is 5 Miles & 107 perches" (APS Minutes).
W. T. Fisher (Thomas Fisher) delivered a map of the proposed canal 2 March 1770 which was
intended to shew, at one View, the several places proposed for opening a communication between the waters of the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays . . . to be kept among the Society's papers for future use. In this Map is also delivered the different Roads proposed to be opened for Land Carriage
from the Susquehanna River. On 2 November 1770, the "Abstract of Canal papers read & ordered to be printed. Fisher's map ordered to be engraved" (APS Minutes).
The desire for this canal continued and it is interesting to note that as late as 16 December 1803 two of the maps belonging to the Society, the surveys by Anderson and Gilpin, were acknowledged as being in the possession of Benjamin Henry Latrobe. Latrobe had surveyed a route in 1799 and was named Engineer of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company in 1804 when the first canal was dug.
