        "PHILADELPHIA AS WILLIAM PENN KNEW IT
                       1684

"Commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of the first
arrival, October 28, 1682, of William Penn in America
1682-1932.  Prepared for the Program Committee,
Albert-Cook-Myers-Chairman, Phildelphia-- 1932.

"Drawn by William Wilson Pollock with the historical
collaboration of Albert Cook Myers."

The map is intended as a guide, showing the approximate
location of the lots.  It is in fact fairly accurate,
but the precise location is somewhat distorted owing
to the neccessity to keep it narrow for viewing.

Note that the lot numbers were assigned by me;
they are not house numbers or city lot #s.

LEGEND:
   - = 1684 street curb;
   * = present street curb;
   < = western edge of Delaware Riv. in 1684
       (river's edge is some block farther east today
        due to land fill-- 1 block east of Delaware Ave.);
   ~ = creek;
   x = bridge over creek;
  xx = Draw Bridge;
 [B] = The Burying-Yard;
 [P] = Ply. Friends;
 [F] = Friends' Meeting House;
 [I] = Blue Anchor Inn;
 [L] = Blue Anchor Landing;
FFFF = Granted to the Free Society of Traders
