This map is the first state of Reid's map of Vermont which was copied from Mathew Carey's Vermont from the latest Surveys. It presents the state divided into seven counties and further divided into townships, all named. Shows topography, watershed, towns and a surprisingly large network of early wagon roads. Locates and names Dartmouth College. The Ottauquechee River is here called the Waterguechec R. A large compass rose rests in the Atlantic. This map was also published in Winterbotham's America and in the [Vermont] State Papers where it is was the frontispiece. Engraved by Roberts.

A nice impression with some light foxing and soiling. The centerfold has been professionally backed on verso.
