Very nice chart of the northeast from the Chesapeake Bay to Lake Champlain and the Bay of Fundy, and west to the Country of the Iroquois. Delaware is part of Pennsylvania with New Jersey divided into East and West Jersey. The St. Lawrence River is shown emanating from an enormous Lake Ontario. One notation tells of the inhumane murder of Col. Schuyler by the French and Indians in 1746. Large decorative cartouche and compass rose.
