Part 1: Maps in the Library of Congress.
Mr. Docktor lists:
254S7: Captain Snow, 1754
Captain Snow's scetch of the country by himself, and the best accounts he could receive from the Indian traders
Size: 21x34 cm. G3820 1754 .S6 Faden 4
Manuscript, pen and ink and watercolor, map of western Pennsylvania, northern Virginia, northern Maryland, and the Maryland-Pennsylvania boundary line. No scale is indicated.
254S8: Captain Snow, 1754
Captain Snow's sketch
Size: 22x26 cm. G3820 1754 .S61 Faden 5
Manuscript pen and ink map of western Pennsylvania, northern Virginia, northern Maryland, and the Maryland-Pennsylvania boundary line. Location of forts is indicated. No scale is given
I found this reference to a Captain Snow, who Wikipedia lists as a English
mariner, minor Arctic explorer, and writer. He may not be the correct
person, but he's the closest I could find for an explorer who made maps.
