Evans 1755 map is now landscape and includes more westerly parts of North America. A submap extends the course of the Ohio River to the Mississippi. Evans notes Fry and Jefferson's map of Virginia and notes agreement of Longitudinal observations with Thomas Godfrey. The "Analysis" referred to is a 32 page quarto written by Evans and printed by B. Franklin and D. Hall at Philadelphia in 1755 describing the country and boundaries. This map normally accompanied that publication. A copy of the Analysis accompanies the maps in the same folder, along with a copy of Pownall's 1776 "Topographical Description of North America."
