Note
This remarkable large map shows in great detail the works of the Brandy's Bend Iron Co. on the Allegheny River northeast of Pittsburgh. The scale is large and the map is subtly colored. All the buildings, tracks, roads and Collieries are delineated. There is a "Geological Section from Notes by Prof. Shepherd" showing the land on which the Iron Company is built. Two vignettes show the imposing buildings. Why this map was made is not clear, certainly not for general consumption, but perhaps for investors or others specifically interested in the Companies facilities. The date is estimated. Scale 300 feet to an inch.

Note
Modelski dates this map circa 1850 - the map itself is undated. We presume that it was published by Kollner for the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, which is the only railroad labeled in Pennsylvania and presumably the state's "Great Highway" referred to in the title. The entire middle northern U.S. is shown, west to the Mississippi. Tributary railroads in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are shown in detail. Limited topographical features are shown, as is typical for a railroad map. As an example of Kollner's lithographic work, it is quite simple in style and execution, with fairly elaborate hand coloring. Outline color by state. See our #4688 for another, more typical Kollner work. Relief shown by hachures.
