"A Map of Connecticut and Rhode Island with Long Island Sound, &c.", Anon.

This is an interesting Revolutionary War-period map based on Thomas Kitchin's 1758 map, but without the townships delineated. Good detail throughout, it illustrates early settlements and roads, ports, plus a copper mine near Simsbury, CT. It shows the counties of Fairfield, New Haven and New London in Connecticut. A scale of British miles and simple compass rose orient the map. This is the last of a series of four maps that were issued in the Gentleman's Magazine during 1776 to illustrate the growing unrest in the colonies; this is from the November 1776 edition.
