The finest eighteenth-century map of Virginia and Maryland. A landmark early American map, based on careful surveys by Fry and Jefferson (father of the future President), accurately delineating the boundaries, roads, settlements, and Native trails, and incorporating considerable new geographical information reported by early wilderness travelers including George Washington, Christopher Gist, and John Dalrymple. Completed in 1751, it was engraved and published several years later. Eight different states are recorded by Verner, Pritchard & Taliaferro, of which this is state 6. It was issued in 1775 for inclusion in Thomas Jeffery's American Atlas, the most authoritative atlas of America at the time of the American Revolution.
