A well-engraved map of the Mid-Atlantic extending from Long Island to Cape Henry, with Breakelen (Brooklyn) named on Long Island. The map was derived from Capt. John Smith's map of 1612, the first to depict Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries with any accuracy. It is filled with primarily native names, but with a few Dutch and English ones scattered around. The decorative cartouche shows Smith being brought before Powhatan for judgment, showing English ships off the coast.
