The mapmaker quickly responded to the newly formed United States by engraving the borders of the newly formed thirteen states over an earlier plate with colonial boundaries. The western boundaries of the southern states stop at the Allegany Mountains except for Georgia, which shows its boundary extending off the map. Beyond the United States is the Contree des Six Nations. Numerous place names, Indian regions, forts and rivers are located on this relatively early map of the United States.
