This extremely scarce and very interesting map covers the region from the Great Lakes south to the boundary between Georgia and East and West Florida, extending west of the Mississippi to show part of Louisiana. The map depicts early roads, settlements, forts, and Indian villages, with particular emphasis on the western frontiers in Kentucky and Ohio. The battle sites and raids against the United Tribes in 1791 are depicted. Gilbert Imlay, an army officer during the Revolutionary War, emigrated to Kentucky where he worked as a deputy surveyor under George May, at Louisville. Subsequently he went to Europe where he wrote of his experiences on the then-frontier. His book, published by J. Debrett, was illustrated with this and three other great early maps, all of which are scarce.
