This interesting map of the nascent United States features well-developed river systems, intricate topographical detail, and numerous Indian tribes in the interior. The map shows 16 states and 5 territories, including the massive Louisiana that was acquired 7 years earlier. Other territories include Mississippi, Indiana, Michigan, and Maine (Mains here). There is fancy titling in a small oval cartouche, along with four distance scales. Engraved by Adam and Giraldon.
