The Mid-Atlantic region of North America, stretching from New York south to Virginia, was a pivotal area in the early development of the American colonies and the United States. This website looks at this region and its history through maps created up to 1850. The maps on this site cover the early modern period ending in 1850, just as so-called internal improvements (canals, highways, and railroads) began to cross the young nation and change the landscape. This website highlights and explains a few of the hundreds of maps that have been digitized and offers suggestions for using them in the study of historical topics or geographic areas. Many of the maps can be viewed in detail by using the MrSid viewer. The entire collection of digitized maps also can be searched using a keyword search, via the digital database. The site begins with a brief essay on the nature of the items featured on the site and contineus with three other sections: Basics of Maps, Maps through History, and Geographical Areas.
