Originally engraved and published by William Faden, London 1749. This is the reduced version of the original large London map, by D. Vaughan in 1849. An absolutely fascinating map of the region that shows hundreds of land patents with the owner identified. Filled with amazing detail including roads and trails, villages and towns, terrain, watershed, forts, lakes and more. A truly remarkable and historical map. Covers the region bounded by the Delaware, Susquehanna Rivers on the west, the St. Laurence River to Lake Francis and the 45° parallel in the north and Connecticut River on the east. Engraved on stone by R.H. Pease. Beautiful compass rose below Long Island.
