PA Geology - Second Survey Annual Report

Second Geological Survey of Pennsylvania Annual Report

Described in 1924 as “the most remarkable series of reports ever issued by any survey," the Second Geological Survey of Pennsylvania (1874-1889) produced an unprecedented volume and quality of geologic reports. With over 80 texts, nearly 600 accompanying maps and illustrations, a hand atlas, a six-volume grand atlas, and miscellaneous other publications, the Second Survey contains a treasure trove of geologic, economic and historic information about Pennsylvania during the Golden Age.
