Additional Details

A stunning and complex map of Pennsylvania in its entirety from an elevated "birds-eye" perspective. The exceedingly large scale allows for remarkably dense detail, while the artistry offers a visual impact not commonly found on an average map. Only a handful of McConnell's extraordinary map of Colorado can be located in OCLC, but no copies of this equally impressive giant are found.
