Carte de l'Amérique septentrionale, depuis la baye d'Hudson jusqu'au Mississipi : pour servir aux essais historiques et politiques sur la révolution de cette partie du monde
Map
This map of North America covers the United States and Canada east of the Mississippi River. It shows regions, state boundaries extending to the Mississippi River, cities, forts, Native American lands, mountains, rivers, and lakes. The occasional note appears throughout the map, but the map predominately features double or single lines that could be roads, routes, or the movement of armies with no explanation on the map itself what they represent. The double lines connect various cities, mostly along the coast. The single lines weave throughout the Ohio territory, branching off in several directions.
1782
