Albany to Scoharie [sic] No 52 3rd Part (2nd piece) [sic] / by Robert Erskine F.R.S. Geogr. A. U.S. and Assistants.

Index title by Erskine: Part of the Susquehanna & Delaware; Ononoughquago &c. 65. Drawing attributed to Gray based on comparison to another map in this series titled "Draught of Part of Schohara Part of the West Branch of Delaware & Part of Susquehanna Rivers...." That map includes the text, "N.B. Schohara is taken from Actual Survey the others only from Sight & Information." The sheet in hand appears to be the drawing made "only from Sight & Information." Imperfect: lacking 7 x 7 cm. at left margin, 6 x 8 cm. at right margin.
