A New Map of Part of the UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA. exhibiting the Western Territory, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia &c.

Beautiful and detailed map of the north-western part of the United States, from the Great Lakes in the north to Tennessee border, and from the Mississippi to Chesapeake Bay. Indian territories are marked. Numerous little notes, historical and geographical, add to this map’s charm; e.g. ‘Here the Great Falls of Niagara fall down a stupendous precipice’. and ‘country abounding in wild animals’. John Cary is considered by some to be the finest of English cartographers. His maps, although not the most decorative, appeal for their clarity, detail, and the precision of engraving. When the Ordnance Survey began accurately mapping the UK, they used John Cary’s style as the basis for their work.

Very good condition.
