Pensylvania Nova Jersey Et Nova York cum Regionibus Ad Fluvium Delawar...
A wonderful map for the region which draws heavily from Lewis Evans 1749 map of the area, showing the colonies and lay of the land. It also includes a portion of the massive Iroquoy nation as it was, labeled “Pars Aouanushionigy” which here is shown from the Lake Ontario through the upper Susquehana River valley. Bold original hand color distinguishes regional boundaries, and a wealth of detail is shown for cities, towns, and major topography. A large title cartouche shows natives presenting a European with the bounty of the region, amongst the indigenous flora and fauna. While incredibly cartographically solid in showing the areas from Maryland and north, it has an incredibly truncated and distorted New England, which seems crammed onto the page. McCorkle, B.B. (New England) 750.4.
