Recens Edita totius Novi Belgii, in America Septenrionali siti, delineatio cura et sumptibus Arguably one of the most recognizable maps of the Northeastern American colonies this fifth state example of Novi Belgii by Tobias Conrad Lotter series does not disappoint with regards to eye-appeal. The map is drawn from Jansson’s map of the northeast from 1651 which was later added to by Nicolas Visscher. The Cartographic Accuracy of the Map The map shows colonial boundary lines (added in the third state) separating New England, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. It spans then entire northern colonial region Jamestown in the Chesapeake Bay in the south to the border of New England and New France that includes Quebec City in the north. The interior of the continent is still largely unknown and much of the information presented is speculative. A large lake named "Lacus Iroqoisi,"appears just northwest of Boston and in this map offers a clean connection to the St. Lawrence.
