This map comes from Mitchell's first edition A New American Atlas, which utilized the plates used in Finley's 1826 atlas of the same title with an updated publisher's imprint. It depicts counties, roads, proposed and existing canals, and locates scores of towns and villages. At lower right, a "Statistical Table" gives populations by county for 1810 and 1820. Engraved by J.H. Young.

References: Ristow, p. 270.
