Description
In pencil on recto, roughly, and not encircled: "No. 130". Military topographic map. Covers the townships of Fulton, Drumore and Little Britain in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Also shows buildings and owners' names, landforms and streams. Oriented with north to bottom of sheet. Pen-and-ink, pencil laid paper. Shows relief by hachures. Soiled, foxed, creased, split, frayed and abraded. Mounted on cloth, bound and cropped, disbound and silked by subsequent owners. Cleaned after removal of backings 1999; some fill remains. Newly backed with China paper. Sheathed in mylar. Surveying attributed to Scull by cataloger, based on note found on sheet 124,C of series: "NB This joins Scull's surveys." Tentatively dated 1778, based on comparison to map 130,1 of series. Title proper from recto is the work of a later editor--Simeon DeWitt or his assign--subsequent to 1820. Title from verso apppears to be contemporaneous with map and may be cited as such. This map is not listed on the separate index sheet filed at head of series nor is it given in Heusser's transcription of that index. Watermark: "I R" beneath crown, similar to Gravell and Miller American watermark no. 346.
