The East Coast of the United States can be looked
at from various perspectives, by state, by region (New England,
Middle Atlantic, Southeast), or by smaller geographical and political
boundaries. In this section, American Shores focuses on
the Middle Atlantic region and its many geographical features. A
few carefully chosen maps from the digital collection are used to
highlight the wide variety of types of maps and types of information
they contain. Explore the Middle Atlantic region through maps showing
geographical features -- rivers, bays, canals - as well as the cities,
villages, city streets, property owners, businesses, and more that
developed as the country grew.
