1) J. Low, New York, 1799, from New Encyclopaedia, (9 x 7"). Strongly engraved by Scales, the map includes Delaware. The inset extends west, "Continuation of the Potomac River from Fort Cumberland." Title in circular cartouche, distance scale is in American Miles.

2) Arrowsmith & Lewis, 1805, (10 x 8"). This map presents an interesting contrast to the former showing markedly different courses to many rivers. States outside of Maryland are blank. The inset "Western Part of Maryland Continued" is on the same scale as the main map.
