This map was issued in William McCarty's History of the American War of 1812 and covers the region from the Great Lakes east to Quebec and south to Washington DC. The emphasis of the map is on the network of wagon roads and waterways, and includes an inset of the Great Lakes centered on the strategic St. Mary's River which connects Lake Superior to Lake Huron. Decorated by a simple oval cartouche with fancy titling.
