Description

View of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, P.A., 1885 / drawn & published by Burk & McFetridge.

This bird’s-eye view of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was drawn and published by Burk & McFetridge in 1885. Philadelphia, founded in 1682 at the confluence of the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers, prospered with its river port location, becoming a major trade and industrial center. The port, together with the convenient supply of iron and the abundance of coal led Philadelphia to become one of the largest producers and transporters of iron.

American insurance companies began to emerge in Philadelphia in the early 1700's, enabling better access to insurance representatives. Fire and Life insurance were introduced here. In 1883, the Philadelphia Fire Underwriters Tariff Association was organized. The organization established uniform rates amongst the various insurance carriers while instilling fire preventive measures on Philadelphians.

The map from 1886 includes streets, buildings, bridges, piers and railroad routes. It features inset illustrations of the following:
