"Vermont from Actual Survey", Doolittle, Amos

This early map of Vermont is the second edition as evidenced "Engraved for Carey's American Edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved" above the neatline and the number 25 at upper right. It is divided into seven counties with townships shown and named. The major towns, Dartmouth College and a fairly extensive road network is delineated. Amos Doolittle was a New Hampshire cartographer and engraver, who produced many of the best early maps of New England. This map of Vermont is a fine example of his work. However, this rare edition is backed with contemporary linen and does not appear to have been published in atlas form.
