Despite the title, this map centers on New York but also covers parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut Massachusetts and Vermont. It provides an excellent view of colonial settlements, forts and roads. Three different boundary line claims are shown between New Jersey and New York. West of the Delaware River are Endless Mountains and northern New York is labeled Hunting Grounds.
