Great set of matching maps that feature the beautiful and detailed engraving style associated with German produced maps from this period. The first has a circular inset showing part of Lake Pontchartrain and New Orleans with the Mississippi River flowing between Red Church and Woodville. The second map shows a large unsettled area in today's Minnesota simply labeled "Sioux." With three insets: the first is untitled and details the region between Lawrenceburgh, Cincinnati and Hamilton; the second inset is the vicinity of Nashville; the last shows Lexington, Versailles, Franke and Georget. The third map contains three insets detailing the vicinity of Boston, New Haven and Hartford.
