This scarce map shows surprising detail and delineates five counties. According to Wheat & Brun this is the second state, with the area of Dartmouth College lands listed at 40,960 acres, revised from 42,000 on the first state, making the publication date 1812 or 1813. Many portages are shown, but no roads. The Line of Mason's Patent 17787 is marked. Lake Memfrimagog is mostly in Quebec. Engraved by S. Hill.
