"Carte de la Virginie et du Maryland, ou de la Baie de Chesapeack et Pays Voisins pour Servir a l'Histoire des Etablissemens Europeens...", Bellin, Jacques Nicolas

This finely engraved colonial map covers most of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, with a bit of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The interior is fully engraved with mountains and great detail along the rivers. An early network of trails and wagon roads connects the communities along the seaboard and stretches as far west as Frederic Town ou Winchester, with one road continuing farther southwest. Fort Cumberland, Bukingham, and many frontier villages are located. A delicate rococo-style title cartouche completes the composition.
