It delineates thirteen counties and highlights the two principle battle sites of Hubbardstown and Bennington with small flags. The map was originally engraved by Young & Delleker in 1822. On a full folio sheet (27.0 x 20.6") with French text flanking the map that describes the state's rivers, lakes, mountains, climate, history, and more. Buchon produced the French edition of Carey & Lea's American Atlas. He used a better quality paper and today his maps are generally found in better condition than their American counterparts.
