"The Part of Virginia Which Was the Seat of Action", Conder, Thomas

This detailed Revolutionary War map extends from tidewater Virginia back into the Piedmont to Louisa and Orange counties. Derived in part from the Fry & Jefferson map of Virginia and Maryland, it includes part of Maryland and much of the lower Chesapeake Bay. Watershed, islands, courthouses, and some early roads are delineated. It names many towns and settlements including Jamestown, Williamsburg, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hampton, Richmond, Hanover, Fredericksburg, Elk Hill, Albemarle, and Tappahannock. The map locates Tod's Bridge, Raccoon Ford, Cape Henry, Point Comfort, and more.
