"New England New York New Jersey and Pensilvania", Salmon, Thomas

This fascinating map was copied from Moll's map of the same name, one of the earliest Post Road maps. As in the Moll map, the postal road is shown extending from Portsmouth, New Hampshire along the coast to New York and turning west to the Delaware River. New York is confined to a narrow strip along the Hudson River and New Jersey is divided into West and East New Jersey. Several Indian tribes are noted in Pennsylvania. Nova Scotia is named Scotland. A sea battle rages in the Atlantic.
