A Map of the Western Part of the Territories Belonging to the United States of America: Drawn from the Best Authorities
Map
This map of the central United States covers west to the Mississippi River, east to the Atlantic Ocean, north to the Great Lakes, and south to Georgia. It features roads, cities, towns, early settlements, Native American lands, forts, mountains, rivers, and lakes. Of more importance, the map highlights the Blackberry Campaign of the Northwest Indian War. The routes of James Wilkinson and Charles Scott appear as dotted lines in the Kentucky region. A crossed swords icon at the edge of the Salamine River marks the location where, according to the annotation in the lower left corner, "action was fought between the forces under Genl. St. Clair & the united Tribes of Indians, Novr. 1791."
1795
Conder, Thomas, 1746 or 1747-1831 (cartographer)
