"Map of the States of Maryland and Delaware" By J. Denison, Published by Thomas & Andrews, Circa 1796

Presented is J. Denison's “Map of the States of Maryland and Delaware.” The map was engraved by Amos Doolittle and published in Boston by Thomas & Andrews, circa 1796. The beautifully detailed map shows the borders of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The Chesapeake Bay (here spelled Chesapeak) is featured prominently along with the Potomac River ( spelled Potomack). An inset map is featured at left showing part of Pennsylvania bordered by the western part of Maryland.  This map first appeared in Morses' The American Universal Geography, one of the earliest American-published atlases. The map shows early roads, townships, rivers, and more, and provides a fantastic insight into the bustling mid-Atlantic states in the Federalist era. CONDITION: Overall very good condition.
