This is a reduced version of John Reid's map of 1796, which was in turn based on Samuel Lewis's foundation map of Maine. The border runs across the St. John River to 48° 15' N. Latitude and is noted as the "Line between the United States and the British Possessions by Treaty 1783." It shows an apparent road from York to Pownalboro along the coast and there is considerable coastal detail with numerous islands located.
