Title
Patapsco River and the Approaches.
Description
English: This is an uncommon 1856 U.S. Coast Survey Chart or Map of Patapsco River, the Chesapeake Bay, and approaches to Baltimore, Maryland. Covers from Baltimore in the northwest, eastward as far as Fairlee Creek, and southward as far as the Magothy River. Offers considerable detail throughout, but especially inland, where farms, roads, streets, and even some individual buildings are noted. Countless depth soundings throughout. Notes on tides, under sea dangers, and sailing instructions in the lower left quadrant. The Triangulation for this survey was completed by J. Ferguson. The topography is the work of F. H. Gerdes, R. D. Cutts, H. J. Whiting, and J. B Bluck. The Hydrography was accomplished by a party under the command of G. M. Bache, C. H. Mc Blair, and R. Wainwright. The construction of this chart was supervised by both A.D. Bache and F. R. Hassler, two of the most important and influential early superintendents of the U.S. Coast Survey. Published in the 1856 edition of the Superintendent's Report .

(Reusing this file)
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
