This scarce map of the early United States during the Revolutionary War is based very closely on Jonathan Carver's map of the same title from 1778. Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia extend all the way to the Mississippi River, and Louisiana, New Mexico, Teguayo & Quivira, and New Albion take up the West. In the Pacific Northwest, the River of the West flows into an equally fictitious Pikes Lake. The Strait of Juan de Fuca appears to the north, leading into an amorphous Western Sea. The Sierra Nevadas are named the Snowy Mountains and bear east-west; a large mountain called the Mountain of Bright Stones is located roughly in the Canadian Rockies.
