This rare map was engraved by James Thackara and published in Robert Proud's The History of Pennsylvania. The map covers an area from southern New York to Central Virginia and displays rudimentary topographical detail of the Allegheny Mountains and Chesapeake Bay as well as towns, settlements, roads and rivers. Delaware is also labeled as Territories of Pennsylvania. A simple compass rose adorns the Atlantic Ocean.
