Description

Issued in 1827 by Jean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent, the Carte Des Montagnes Coupees par Des Rivieres, Situees en Virginie et en Pensylvanie provides an accurate and detailed geographical representation of Virginia and Pennsylvania's river-intersected mountainous terrains.

Historically, this map provides valuable insight into the early 19th-century landscape of the depicted regions. The course of rivers and the spread of mountains presented here allow for a deeper understanding of how these physical features might have influenced the economic and social development of Virginia and Pennsylvania during this period.

This map was part of the esteemed publication, the Atlas encyclopédique contenant les cartes et les planches relatives à la géographie physique.
