Wedge plows dated back to the 1860's...So the fine examples already posted of these plows would work in answer to your question.

On roads, giant (6-foot diameter) wooden rollers were pulled by horses to clear snow. I'll pull up a picture from the Utah State Historical Society of a horse-drawn wedge plow of sorts when I get home.
