Uncommon late 18th century early American engraved map. Among a relative handful of engraved maps entirely produced within the young United States in the late 18th century.

Nice looking example with signs of time and age, pleasing patina, some toning and old small scattered staining, a few small neat minor archival tape repairs to a couple fold line ends on reverse, any minor age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. Pic captures the map condition.

Original fold lines as issued.
