The second map entitled Survey of the Allegheny River from Franklin to Pittsburgh shows finer detail of the survey made by topographical engineers Lieutenants C. Graham and J.M. Berrien under the direction of Lt. Col. Kearney. Details along the banks of the river include ferries, creeks, salt works, property owners, and more. The first sheet measures 31.2 x 7.4" and the second sheet is 37.9 x 7.4".

The folding maps are clean and crisp. The "Map of the Valley of the Alleghany River" has a short binding tear at right that just passes the border. Disbound report text is very good with faint scattered foxing.
