"The State of Rhode Island, from the Latest Surveys", Reid, John

One of the earliest American-published maps of Rhode Island. The map was engraved by Benjamin Tanner for John Reid's rare American Atlas. The map depicts county boundaries, townships, topography, churches, mills, shipyards, roads, and bridges. It also shows several swamps and a Quicksand Pond, which on this map is located entirely in Massachusetts, whereas earlier maps showed it in Rhode Island.
