1785.1
CARTE GENERALE DES TREIZE ETATS-UNIS INDEPENDANTS DE L'AMERIQUE
SEPTETRIONALE POUR SERVIR AU SPECTATEUR AMERICAIN 1785.
Only the Pennsylvania region is shown; the complete map
depicts the east coast from Maine to the Carolinas. The
map is from Joseph Mandrillon's Le spectateur
am ricain, published by E. Flon, Amsterdam 1785,
according to the Library of Congress from where this
image comes (Sellers & van Ee #759). Originally by
Rigobert Bonne, it first appeared in 1782 (map 1782.3)
and previously in Le spectateur (McCorkle #784.9).
See McCorkle #785.1, who illustrates several versions.
The map is behind the times as Pittsburgh is called 'Ft.
Duquesne.' Pennsylvania is given a western boundary from
'Sandoske Ft.' to the Ohio River and then following the
Monongahela down to Maryland. An image of this map can be
seen at
MapForum.Com
, Issue 1, where it is dated
1783 and said to come from Alexander Cluny's Le
Voyageur Americain. |

CARTE GENERALE DES TREIZE ETATS UNIS, DE L'AMERIQUE
SEPTENTRIONALE KAART VAN DE DERTIEN VERENIGDE STAATEN, IN
NOORD AMERIKA. a Amsterdam chez C. Mortier & J.
Covens et fils. A map with both French and Dutch titles
that covers the familiar territory from Newfoundand to
Florida and west. Pennsylvania extends to 43 degrees with
its western boundary ending at the Forks of the Ohio.
This map can be seen at
MapForum.Com
, Issue 1, dated circa 1783,
and described as a republishing of the Covens &
Mortier copy of John Mitchell's map with "United
States" added to the title. McCorkle #785.3; Sellers
& van Ee #760. |

1785.4
A MAP OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, agreeable to the
Peace of 1783. Engraved for Guthries New System of
Geography. Publish'd as the Act directs June 15th. 1785
by C. Dilly and G. Robinson, London. Wm. Darton sc.
Tottenham. This map of the eastern United States to the
Mississippi appeared in several editions of Guthrie's
book. Pennsylvania's boundary extends north to Lake Ontario with an uneven western boundary.

1785.5
ETATS-UNIS DE L'AMERIQUE SEPTENTRIONALE Avec les Isles Royale, de Terre Neuve, de St. Jean, l'Acadie &c. 1785. Supplement a l'Atlas de M. Robert de Vaugondy a Paris chez Boudet Imprimeur du Roi. This map of the eastern United States appears in editions of the Atlas Universel. The lower right corner table details the proposed states of the new United States. Later states of this map attribute it to Delamarche in the title, rather than Boudet, and the work on this map was probably done by him. This edition, with Boudet's name is most likely the first state issued in 1785 just before Vaugondy's death. The scale at the bottom appears to be inaccurate when compared to the scale derived from measuring latitude lines. Colorful hand colored cartouche. An image can be seen at mapforum.com , Issue 1; and also at the Darlington Library. Mccorkle #785.5; Sellers & van Ee #187, 761. Intaglio print. Longitude west from Ferro, blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 120 miles. Size: 18.5 x 24.5 inches. |

1785.6
KAART VAN HET NOORDLYK GEDEELTE DER VEREENIGDE STAATEN
VAN NOORD AMERIKA. This map appears in a Dutch atlas by W.
A. Bachiene and is attributed by McCorkle (#785.8) to J.
van Jagen. It resembles Bonne's map 1782.2. The northeast
is shown from Maine to Virginia and west to Ohio.
Pennsylvania has no north or south boundaries, and the
boundaries that are shown are weird. The coloring on this
copy is likely not original. There is a companion map of the northeast and maritime provinces: KAART VAN HET EILAND TERRE-NEUVE, VAN NIEUW SCHOTLAND, HET EILAND ST. JAN EN HET OOSTELYK GEDEELTE VAN KANADA where a small slice of Pennsylvania appears in the bottom left corner.There is also companion map of
the Great Lakes KAART VAN HET WESTELYK GEDEELTE VAN
KANADA..., also similar to Bonne's map 1782.1. The maps are
from Atlas tot Opheldering der Hedendaagsche Historie from Bachiene.
Longitude is west from Paris at the bottom and east from
Ferro at the top. Blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 65 miles.
Size: 8.5 x 12.75 inches. |

1785.7
A MAP OF THE UNITED STATES OF N. AMERICA. Philada.
Engraved by H. D. Pursell for F. Bailey's Pocket Almanac.
The title gives the source; the map was later used in a
history by John M'Culloch, a geography by Benjamin
Workman, and was copied for a German book (McCorkle #788.5).
It shows the United States to beyond the Mississippi. The
western territories are cut up into potential states with
names like Metropotamia, Illincia, Polypotamia,
Michigania, Mississippia, Saratoga. The image here is
from Winsor. McCorkle #785.11; Wheat & Brun #113,115.

1785.9
CARTE DES ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE
ET DU COURS DU MISSISSIPPI. A map by Louis Brion de la
Tour, Paris circa 1785, which is a reduced version of a
larger map of the same title (1783.3) and appeared in
volume 116 of the Histoire Universel. The area
from Maine to a cutoff Florida and west to beyond the
Mississippi is covered. Frankland in western North
Carolina predates the appearance of Tennessee. Georgia,
the Carolinas and Virginia extend to the Mississippi,
though "Kentucke" is named. A large area in the
old Northwest is identified as land ceded to the United
States. "Kansez" and "Tecas" are
named. Pennsylvania's boundary does not extend to
Lake Erie and the other state boundaries are no better.
Longitude from Paris at bottom, Ferro at top, blank verso.
Scale: 1 inch = 185 miles. Size: 9 x 10.5 inches. |

1785.11
(Eastern North America) This untitled and anonymous
French map was seen at auction dated circa 1785. It dates
to the early 1780s or later because the United States (Etats-Unis)
is identified. All of eastern North America from Labrador
to Florida and west to the Mississippi is shown. The map
is plain and simple with relatively few place names and
measures about 14 x 12 inches. |

DIE VEREINIGTON STAATEN VON NORD AMERICA. nach der von Wm. Faden 1783, herausgegebenen Charte.....des Friedenschlusses von 1783 beshtinunt sind. This German map comes from Gechichte der Revolution von Nord America von M. C. Sprengel, 1785. It is based on a map by Faden as indicated and the original English is mostly retained except for the titles. The map shows the eastern United States (and southern Canada) west to beyond the Mississippi with an inset of Newfoundland. Florida is cutoff. |

1785.13
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AGREEABLE TO THE PEACE OF 1783. An anonymous map of unknown date and origin, though probably English, this map is based on old information circa the 1750s. Pennsylvania is shown extending up to Lake Ontario for example. It was probably hastily issued to show the newly formed United States and so is dated circa 1785 here although it could date a little later. This copy is closely trimmed to the neat line and shows signs of being folded. The states are outlined in hand color. Blank verso but with a faint imprint of text visible. Intaglio print; longitude west from London. There is a mismatch between the printed scale and the scale as given by longitude lines, another indication it was quickly made and issued. Scale: 1 inch = 103 miles. Size: 8 x 9 inches. |

1786.1
WESTERN BOUNDARY FROM S. W. CORNER TO 100TH MILESTONE -
1786. Mason & Dixon (see 1768.1) had ended their
survey 230 miles from the beginning of the West Line.
The land beyond this point was considered Virginia,
not Maryland. But Pennsylvania also had a claim to said
land to extend westward five degrees in longitude, as
the charter said. In 1784 Pennsylvania and Virginia
sponsored a survey to establish a southern boundary by
simply extending the Mason & Dixon line westward. The
western terminus was set at about 80d 31m 20s to give
Pennsylvania its full 5 degrees of longitude. The
following year the same surveying team ran a line
northward 100 miles along this longitude to establish a
western boundary between Virginia and Pennsylvania. This
map shows the southwestern corner of the state resulting
from the surveys. The image is from a reproduction of the
original map published in 1887 by the Pennsylvania
Secretary of Internal Affairs in a report that contained
maps of all the state boundaries. Scale: 1 inch = 0.5
mile. Size: 29 X 16 inches. The Pennsylvania State
Archives has a manuscript version, see

notes by the translator; Dublin, printed for
Colles, Moncrieffe, White, H. Whitestone, Byrne, Cash,
Marchbank, Henry, and Moore, 1787. The French title of
the map is also in English. Pennsylvania just makes it
onto the western edge. There is an accompanying map of
the Middle Atlantic region with the same title; southeast
Pennsylvania just makes it onto the top of it. These English versions are shown below as map 1787.16. Scale: 1 inch ~ 50 miles. Size: 7.25 x 9.5 inches. |

DES POSSESSIONS FRANCOISES AUJOURD'HUI SOUS LA DOMINATION ANGLOISES. Sources indicate this undated and anonymous French map is by Jean Baptiste Louis Clouet, and dates to 1786. It Illustrates the French and British possessions in the eastern part of North America. The British colonies stretch from Florida to Newfoundland and are confined east of the Appalachian mountains. The French Louisiana takes in the entire region west of the mountains. A feature of the map is a system of lakes and rivers stretching from Lake Superior toward the Pacific; the mythical river of the west makes an appearance flowing from the Lake of the Woods. The map is flanked by columns of text that describe the colonial possessions, major settlements, and indigenous people. Blank verso, longitude appears east of Ferro (or maybe Paris). Scale: 1 inch = 214 miles. Size: 12 x 13.5 inches (map). |

Ameriquain, Cuchet, Paris 1787, which was a later
French edition of the essays first published under the
title Letters from an American Farmer (and under
the pen name J. Hector St. John) in London 1782. The map
includes southern Canada, the northeast south to Virginia
and west to Ohio with an inset of Lake Michigan and the
upper Mississippi titled ESQUIS SE DURESTE DE LA RIVIERE
DE L' OHIO. Only the Pennsylvania region is shown here
from this large map. Cte (county) de la Fayette in
western Pennsylvania is cited which would date the map
after 1783; Bedford and Washington counties are also
named but no others. This French map is based upon the
famous Lewis Evans map of 1755 published by Jeffreys, and
retains many inscriptions in English. Delaware is named
but no boundary is shown between it and Pennsylvania. The
Philadelphia meridian is used and the Pennsylvania - New
York line is correctly shown near the 42nd parallel. In
1801 Crevecoeur published Voyage dans la haute

Commission had photostatic copies made of maps of all 13
original states, plus some US maps, as they were at the
time of the Constitution adoption, circa late 1780s. For
some reason, likely its date, they picked this map to
represent Pennsylvania. The reproduction, as can be seen,
is poor by modern digital standards. Phillips page 678,

is from The History of the rise, progress, and
establishment, of the Independence of the United States
of America : including an account of the late war, and of
the Thirteen Colonies, from their origin to that period, by
William Gordon, D.D., in three volumes, New-York :

catalog. The map shows the northeastern United States,
the Great Lakes area and much of eastern Canada. Several
towns are named including Bedford, Ft. Pitt, Venango Ft;
rivers are shown and named. A key at the right side of
the map provided symbols for boundaries, towns, forts and
Indian villages. The first edition was published in
London in 1788 (see 1788.2) and then in New York in 1789;
the LOC also has 1794, 1801 editions. Listed in McCorkle

MAP FOR THE INTERIOR TRAVELS THROUGH AMERICA, delineating
the march of the army. T. Conder sculpsit. This map is
from Travels Through the Interior Parts of America
by Thomas Anburey, London 1789, and includes the region
from Maine to Viriginia and west to Lake Erie. Most of
Pennsylvania is shown and a few towns in the east named,
especially Valley Forge. Auburey was an officer in the British army of General John Burgoyne, and his account is one of better ones. The map is color coded to illustrate the marches as described at top left. The four marches shown on this copy are: Fort Ticonderoga to Saratoga; Saratoga to Charlottesville; Charlottesville to Lancaster; and Lancaster to New York. Although six routes are indicated in the legend, only four (brown, green, yellow, blue) are marked on this copy. This is an unusual map in that the printed legend of the marches requires a hand addition. McCorkle #789.5. Size: 15.75 x 14 inches. Scale: 1 inch = 39 miles. |
