In pencil on recto: "No 92 B". Military topographic map. Covers Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. Shows roads running through Tunkhannock and Meshoppen. Also shows buildings and owners’ names, landforms and streams. Number accompanying verso title written in different ink. Letter B crossed out using ink and replaced by K, which in turn is crossed out using pencil and replaced by B. Based on scale and situation, K is the correct letter. Pen-and-ink, pencil on laid paper--one sheet cut and reassembled using two scraps for backing. Scale from index title; confirmed by measuring the map itself. Shows relief by hachures. Stained, soiled and abraded. Mounted on cloth, bound and cropped, disbound and silked by subsequent owners. Cleaned after removal of backings 1999; some fill remains. Sheathed in mylar. Title proper from recto is the work of a later editor--Simeon DeWitt or his assign--subsequent to 1820. Title from verso is in Erskine’s hand and may be cited as such. Index title, statement of responsibility, date, series title and series numbering also by Erskine, but on separate index sheet filed at head of series. Watermark: fleur-de-lis in medallion surmounted by crown, similar to Gravell and Miller American watermark no. 257; however, this version carries the initials "P U". References: Guthorn, Peter J. American maps and map makers of the revolution, p. 17-22.
