This highly detailed map extends from the northern reaches of Chesapeake Bay to Maine and westward to show most of Lake Erie. It is filled with a remarkable number of place names and details including a surprisingly well developed road system in the nascent nation. Additionally, the map provides a large amount of information on Indian tribes and villages. Crevecoeur was a French immigrant to the United States who gain notoriety describing the emerging American national character in his Letters of an American Farmer (1782). This uncommon map was included in Crevecoeur's Voyage dans la Haute Pennsylvanie... and engraved in Paris by P.F. Tardieu. At upper left is "Pl. V. a la Fin du Tom. I." While the map is typically found issued folding in volume one as the note indicates, this example has just a centerfold and was issued in a separate atlas volume (noted in Howes).
