"Carte de la Virginie, de la Baye Chesapeack, et Pays Voisins pour Servir a l'Histoire Generale des Voyages...", Bellin, Jacques Nicolas

Finely engraved colonial map covering most of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, with a bit of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The interior is fully engraved with mountains and good 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.
