Locates the State of Franklin in Present-Day Ohio

"Karte von Nord Amerika von 50sten Grade der Breite bis Gegen den Wendekreiss des Krebses, nach den Neuesten Angaben ", Zimmerman, Eberhard A.W.

This is the first state of this small map that was published in Zimmerman's Taschenbuch der Reisen, oder Unterhaltende Darstellung der Entdeckungen des 18ten Jahrhunderts. The volume was the fourth title in Zimmerman's annual compilations, and is devoted entirely to America. The map itself covers the entire present-day United States and lists twenty states in a table at right including the short-lived state of Franklin, which is erroneously identified in present-day Ohio. Topography and drainage is emphasized in this map with only a few place names west of the Missouri River, including a large Quivira in the Great Basin and Neu Albion along the west coast.
