This interesting map of New England exhibits some very odd boundaries. The states appear as an amorphous strip stretching north-south displaying the lack of French knowledge of the existing boundaries. The map is a close copy of Joseph La Porte's 1780 map of the same title, with a simplified cartouche and the change of Possessions Angloises in the Atlantic to Etats Unis reflecting the French support for American independence.

A nice impression with paper professionally and seamlessly added to the right binding side to facilitate framing. A small hole off Cape Cod has been infilled. There is some faint script on the verso that is the same approximate age as the map.
