Interesting and very early Revolutionary War map extending to the Connecticut River in the west and York and Fort Stephen in the north. The map was issued in June 1775 at the outbreak of hostilities and was intended to inform the British public of the situation. There is nice detail of watershed and topography, and numerous towns, cities, and forts are located.
