This rare copper engraved map covers the region from New Jersey to Illinois and names Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. The northern borders of Illinois and Indiana are aligned with Ohio, so they are beneath Lake Michigan. Chicago and Fort Dearborn are correctly on the lake, but occupy an unnamed region west of Lake Michigan. Michigan is named and Detroit is located. The capitols of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are given as Kaskaskia, Vincennes and Chilicothe, respectively. The map was obviously made to show the region involved in the War of 1812 with the British.
