Copper engraved map of the state details the county seats, roads, towns and settlements, and watershed. The map appears to be up-to-date to circa 1822: the land gain from Ann Arundel is not noted here. Locates District of Columbia, and all towns and cities. Engraved by Young & Delleker. According to Ristow, Finley published his atlases between 1824 to 1834, with separate issues published in the years 1824, 26, 29, 30, 31, 33 and 1834.
