Notes:

This 1698 map gives the names of various counties and towns surrounding Philadelphia as well as parts of Maryland. The New Jersey colony was divided into east and west from 1676 until 1702, hence the textual reference on the map to West New Jersey.

The original map was made by Philip Lea, London, and published in Gabriel Thomas's "History of Pennsylvania", 1698. The map shown was published in c1880.
