Philadelphia, USA, AD 1750

[AncientSwan]

This map represent the area around Philadelphia, USA as it was hundreds of years ago. Before the rivers and creeks were paved over, and before the Delaware became as narrow as it is now.

This map includes the rivers and islands which no longer exist, and has the Delaware River at its original width, almost twice as wide as it is today. It was made by combining quite a few different historical maps I got here at the Philadelphia geoHistory site... https://www.philageohistory.org/geohistory/

THEME: North American
CLIMATE: -13 - 24 C (to be fixed later)
LATITUDE: Northern Hemisphere
BUILDABLE AREA: 75%
OUTSIDE CONNECTIONS: Road. Rail. Sea. Air. Power
NATURAL RESOURCES: Wheat 146km2 , Forest 102kt, Ore 149kt, Oil 75.4kt
TERRAIN: Mostly flat with a few small rises

And a video all about it right here...

I'm from Phllly area and greatly appreciate the map. It would be nice to have an exit for the highway built in. Looking forward to playing this one.

Great video too

Awesome work on the map! As a Philly native it was sweet to see the maps you used and learn a little about the etymology of the city.
