Boundary line maps, 1774-1889.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122379272

This series consists of six maps compiled by the Office of the Secretary of State in its capacity as the general recording office for the government of New York State. All but one of the maps relate to the boundaries of the Province or State of New York. The earliest map in the series (portfolio map no. 175), completed by Deputy Surveyor General John Collins in 1774, traces the boundary line between the Provinces of Quebec and New York from the Connecticut River to the vicinity of the St. Regis River. A 1787 map (portfolio map no. 167), created by Abraham Hardenbergh, depicts the boundary line between New York and Pennsylvania from the Delaware River to Lake Erie. Hardenbergh was among the commissioners appointed pursuant to legislation enacted in 1787 (Chapter 130) for the purpose of "running out and marking the jurisdiction line between this state and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
