An uncommon and finely engraved map covering all the eastern United States to about the 100th meridian, including a little of southern Canada. The western territories include Terre du Nord Ouest that encompasses present-day Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and Minnesota. The rest of the west beyond Missouri and Arkansas is designated as Indian Districts. Texas is shown as a Mexican possession. Insets of the tip of Florida and Newfoundland are located in the lower right corner. Surrounded by a decorative keyboard-style border that indicates longitude from Paris. The handsome map includes fancy title lettering embellished with flourishes and Brue's embossed seal.
