Description

Early American published map of Canada, New England, the Great Lakes and Old Northwest Territory, from a late edition of Carey's General Atlas.

Extends North to Baffin's Bay and the Sea as Seen By Hearne in 1771, West to Slave Lake, Buffalo Lake, Ft. Chipawyan and the most northern

bend of the Missouri River. Excellent detail in the watershed feeding Lake Winnipeg and between the Great Lakes and James Bay.

The Northwest Territory, Michigan Territory and Missouri Territory are named, with Detroit, Brownstown, Sandwich and Malden shown.

In Lower Canada, the Six Nations are shown, along with other Indian information.

Illustrates the still naïve engraving style of American mapmakers in the early 19th Century.
