"A Map of the British American Plantations Extending from Boston in New England to Georgia; Including All the Back Settlements in the Respective Provinces, as Far as the Mississipi", Bowen, Emanuel

This splendid map with unusual colonial borders covers the area east of the Mississippi River, from Niagara Falls to Port Royal, SC. It presents major towns and cities, Indian villages and tribal territory, English and French forts, boundaries, trails and topography. According to Cumming, this map has the most complete delineation of Indian tribes, especially west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in a printed map up to this time.
