This small map is a copy of Johann Schreiber's map of 1756 that focuses on the disputed region during the French and Indian War. Probst's map adds the names of the thirteen states and embellishes the map with a different title cartouche; but otherwise the map is essentially unchanged.

References: cf McCorkle #756.15.
