"Vermont from the Latest Authorities", Reid, John

The map shows the state divided into seven counties and further divided into townships, all named. Shows topography, watershed, towns and a surprisingly large network of early wagon roads. Locates and names Dartmouth College. The Ottauquechee River is here called the Waterguechec R. Large compass rose rests in the Atlantic. This map was also published in Winterbotham's America and in the [Vermont] State Papers where is was the frontis. Engraved by Roberts.
