"A Map of the Brittish-Plantations on the Continent of America", Salmon, Thomas

An uncommon map with information derived from Popple's large map of 1733. It shows the area from Labrador and Hudson Bay to Florida, and west to the Great Lakes. The map names the colonies, however most of the dashed boundary lines are open-ended. There is a very small Province of Main and Massachusetts is named Massachusets Bay. Pennsylvania is shown extending to the 43rd parallel. Near present-day Nashville, Tennessee a note mentions that the area is A Fit Place for an English Factory. Adorned with a compass rose and a lovely title cartouche that features a scallop shell. Engraved by Stephens. This map first appeared in Salmon's Modern History circa 1736.
