DescriptionPocket map of the states of Maryland, Virginia and Delaware, with Pennsylvania to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and Ohio to the west. The states are divided into counties, colored blue, pink, green, yellow or lavender. Principal and local roads are shown, as is the Ohio and Chesapeake Canal, part of what is probably the James River and Kanawha Canal, and the Junction Canal. The Ohio Railroad and an unnamed proposed railroad between Washington, D.C. and Hartford, Maryland, are also depicted. Physical features shown include elevation, conveyed with hachure marks; rivers, and lakes. In the top left is an inset map of the southwest part of Virginia, and in the top right is an inset map of Washington, D.C. and Georgetown. On the inside cover is a population table for the counties in each state.
