Product Description
Maryland presents cartographers with a formidable test of their skills: unusualnatural boundaries, border disputes, and in 1790 the gift of sixty-seven square miles for thecreation of the District of Columbia have given the state a distinctively irregular configuration.Since the early seventeenth century, generations of mapmakers have met this challenge withartistic imagination and a variety of cartographical techniques.

In The Maryland State Archives Atlas of Historical Maps of Maryland, 1608–1908, Edward C. Papenfuse and Joseph M. Coale III bring together in one volume the results of theseremarkable efforts, from Captain John Smith's 1608 detailed sketch of the region to the mapresulting from the Supreme Court's determination of the state's western border in 1908. Utilizingthe latest digital imaging and printing technology, the Atlas contains stunning, full-colorreproductions of more than 250 of the most significant historical maps from stateand federalarchives. This handsome and informative collection--a thoroughly updated and greatly expandedversion of the authors' landmark book, The Hammond-Harwood House Atlas of HistoricalMaps of Maryland (1982)--provides an in-depth history of mapmaking in Maryland andcharts the state's early settlement patterns. ...

Excerpt: Fairfax Stone Historical Monument State Park -The exact boundaries of the "Northern Neck land grant" (later called the "Fairfax Grant") had been undetermined since it was first contrived in 1649 by the then exiled King Charles II. John Savage and his survey party had located the site of the source of the North Branch Potomac River (the northern boundary of the tract) in 1736, but had made no attempt to establish the western boundaries. A 1746 survey by Colonel Peter Jefferson and Thomas Lewis resulted in both the placement of the Fairfax Stone as well as the establishment of a line of demarcation known as the "Fairfax Line", extending from the Stone to the south-east and ending at the source of the Rappahannock River, a distance of 77 miles (124 km). Because of bends in the North Branch Potomac River, the Stone is only a county corner of West Virginia counties rather than part of the border with Maryland. This issue was only resolved when the Supreme Court ruled against Maryland in determining that Maryland would only go up the Potomac far enough to meet a point where a North line from the Fairfax Stone would cross the branch of the Potomac. Without the ruling, the boundary of Maryland was indeterminate. West Virginia countiesTucker County and Preston County share the boundary marked by the Fairfax Stone (West Virginia having seceded from Virginia during the American Civil War). The original Fairfax Stone, in accordance with common surveying practices of the era, was most likely simply a natural, unmarked rock selected from among the outcroppings in the area. Legal boundary disputes between Maryland and Virginia caused the latter to relocate the stone in ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2620670 ... Read more
