'A New and Correct Map of North America in which the Places of the Principal Engagements during the Present War, are Accurately Inserted'
A scarce Revolutionary War-era map of North America depicting the Theater of War, featuring substantial topographical and detailed elements, including forts, towns, rivers, mines, land grants, and areas occupied by Native American tribes. Colonial and state borders, both past and current at the time, are marked, such as "Limits stipulated 1738," the southern "Bounds of Carolina by Charter 1665" running near present-day Daytona Beach, "Bounds of Virginia and New England 1609" along the 40th Parallel, and "North Bounds of New England by Charter 1620" extending west of Lake Superior just south of the 48th Parallel. The Granville Tract ("Earl Granville's Property") is noted in the Carolinas; Granville refused to sell his lands to the Crown in 1728-29, later disposing of much of it, while the remainder was confiscated by North Carolina in 1777 during the Revolutionary War. The map also marks "Walker 1750" in present-day southern Kentucky, indicating the royal land grant to the "Loyal Land Company" founded by explorer Thomas Walker.
