This map is from the second edition of Cobbett's A Year's Residence in the United States. It covers the eastern United States to past the 96th meridian, close to the present-day Missouri/Kansas line. The map shows a hand-colored path from Philadelphia to Illinois Territory, in reference to Thomas Hulme's journey which was covered in his book. A huge Missouri Territory occupies all of the west except for Louisiana, and a large Northwest Territory occupies Wisconsin, Minnesota, and portions of the Dakotas. A large portion of present-day Iowa is marked "unexplored country" and a dotted line through Illinois and Indiana Territory is labeled "Extended Boundary by Various Treaties."
