A fine example of Purcell's map of the Southern United States and Midwest with original colour. Includes an early reference to the "New State of Franklin" in Western Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. The map shows the boundaries between the United States and Spanish Dominions, American Indian Nations land claims, towns, roads, villages. Other early details shown include counties, Indian trading routes, the Cumberland Settlement, the Seven Ranges, Ekanfanoka Swamp (Okenfenokee), Port Vincient (Vincennes), The Illinois Company, Ohio Company, "New Jersy [Jersey] Company" and Army Lands. Colonel Syms Land, the donation lands from the Commonwealth of Virginia and General Clark's Grant are also shown. The region north of the Ohio River is named the New States, although the map predates the delineation of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
