• DESCRIPTION: This map offers a detailed view of the young United States in the years following the Revolutionary War, with particular attention to the eastern seaboard from the “Province of Main” down to the Carolinas. A large inset focuses on Georgia and South Carolina, extending to the St. Mary’s River. The map reaches west to the junction of the Kentucky and Ohio Rivers, naming Kentucky but omitting Ohio and Tennessee, which had yet to be formally defined. It notes territories west of the Appalachians, early Native American settlements, especially near Lake Erie, and marks the locations of "Christian Indian" villages with dots. Weld’s travel route through Virginia is also traced, adding a layer of exploration to this geographic and cultural snapshot of the post-colonial United States.
