The focus of this map is much broader than the title indicates. It extends from the coast of Labrador to Long Island and inland to include Lake Mistassin in Ontario and Lake Champlain. New Hampshire takes in all of present-day New Hampshire and Vermont, and Maine is unnamed. The map shows a number of early settlements, forts, and Indian tribal territory.
