  • Map of the Northern Part of the United States of America by Abraham Bradley, Junr.

    Shows all of the Northeast from Virginia to the District of Maine and west to the Mississippi. The most important feature is with respect to the five states to be taken from the North West Territory. These are located with approximately the ultimate boundaries and are numbered "I State, II State, III State, IV State and V State. Lands belonging to various companies, the Seven ranges, New Connecticut and various towns and treaty cessations are also shown. This is the earliest edition of this map. Karpinski mentions no earlier published map with this feature. Rare in any edition.

    Condition is good though trimmed close left side with minor loss. The map was also torn on the very left side and has been expertly rebacked. The original tears are barely visible. Image size is approximately 9 x 16 (inches),
