Description
An account of the resource
A great deal of historical interest attaches to this map. It shows the residences of important figures in the Transcendentalist movement: Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Ellery Channing, and Henry David Thoreau--whether living at Walden Pond or at his father John's home. Thoreau's work as a surveyor contributes materially to Walling's map in the form of White Pond and Walden Pond.
By convention Thoreau's two-year sojourn at Walden Pond is thought to have been in the "wilderness," by his own description, but we see here that he was located less than two miles from the Concord town pump, and midway between a turnpike and the Fitchburg Railroad. A detail from Walling's larger map shows the approximate location of Thoreau's cabin.
