Scarce map of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and parts of Virginia, Delaware and New York, showing the region from the Upper Chesapeak and Delaware Bays to Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, published in Morse's American Geography.
One of the earliest maps of the region to be published in the United States in a georgaphical book, pre-dating the first American Atlas by Carey (1795).
Jedidiah Morse (1761–1826) was a pioneering American geographer, often called the "father of American geography." A Congregational minister by profession, he is best known for his influential geographical publications, including Geography Made Easy (1784) and The American Universal Geography (1793), which were among the first comprehensive geographical works published in the United States. His books shaped early American understanding of geography and cartography, providing a crucial reference for educators and mapmakers. Morse's work laid the groundwork for geographic education in America, and his emphasis on detailed maps helped standardize cartographic practices during a formative period for the young nation.
