This map of the young United States covers the region from Maine south to Florida and west to the Mississippi River. Georgia's western boundary extends to include present-day Alabama and Mississippi. A large N.W. Territory stretches from Minnesota to Ohio. Several spurious islands are located in Lake Superior including I. Royal. Vermont is not named. Inland detail is limited to rivers, topography and some place names. This map was published in the American edition of Payne's Geography, printed and sold by John Low in New York.
