Realms of Gold overview

Murphy D. Smith created this guide to the map holdings of the American Philosophical Society in 1991. The guide is divided into four main sections:

The bulk of the maps described are found within the printed maps section, which is further subdivided by geographic location. The printed guide was digitized in 2005 and supplemented by the addition of a significant number of digital images of the maps described. These digital representations are maintained in JPEG2000 format, an emerging standard for image compression. Each entry for which there is a corresponding scan features a small thumbnail that links to the JPEG2000 image. Not every map in the collection was scanned for this project. Inventories of all the digitized maps may be found in the following locations:


Scope and content
The printed maps are arranged geographically according to the Dewey Decimal System. Each major subdivision is presented as a unique page as follows:

Arrangement
The printed maps are arranged in the order in which they were catalogued, which for the most part follows the Dewey Decimal area classification system. Within a given area or country they are arranged chronologically. "Wheat numbers" are given for maps cited in James Clement Wheat and Christian F. Brun's Maps and charts published in America before 1800. A bibliography. The printed maps are described as follows as the information warrants:
  • Date (date of reproduction is used for facsimiles)
  • Title or description (supplied titles are bracketed)
  • Number of pieces (if more than one)
  • Scale
  • Cartographer(s)
  • Engraver(s)
  • Size (neat line, plate impression, or size of paper; unless otherwise noted, measurements are taken from neat lines)
  • Inset(s)
  • Coloring
  • Provenance
  • Note (cross-references, bibliographical references, etc.)
  • Wheat number
  • Call number

In presenting this document, I beg to call the attention of the Society to the strong contrast, which will appear on a comparison, between the aspect of the country traversed by this due north line as there developed, and that exhibited by the profile of Colonel Bouchette, the British surveyor under the 5th article of the Treaty of Ghent, derived from his surveys of that line and his barometric measurements upon it in the years 1817 & '18.
The direction of the meridian line whose profile or vertical section is now offered to the notice of the Society, was obtained from numerous astronomical observations, fully verified, with a transit instrument having a telescope of 43 inches focal length. It will be perceived on reference thereto that the meridian, thus traced, does not meet with any highland or elevation whatever in passing Mars Hill, but on the contrary that it passes the base of that eminence considerably to the eastward, and at a depression nowhere less that 12 feet below the level of the base of the monument which was erected to mark the source of the River St. Croix. . . . It may be well to remark that the base of this monument is surrounded (unless at seasons of extreme drought) by the water constituting the extreme source of that river [Archives. J. D. Graham to APS, 28 March 1844. Minutes. Proc , vol. 4, p. 53. Donation Book].
Librarian George Ord was notified 22 June 1844 that W. R. Palmer had received these maps for the Society [Archives. W. R. Palmer to G. Ord, 22 June 1844].

Provenance: Presented by J. D. Graham, 19 July 1844. Major Graham wrote 28 March 1844 that he was presenting a profile or vertical Section with the Spirit level, of the country traversed by the due north line from the monument at the source of the river St. Croix, to the river St. John, derived from surveys executed under my direction in the years 1840 & 1841.
