Kashnor notes, "The best issue of Aaron Arrowsmith's rare map. It is one of the masterpieces of American cartography. The information contained is most valuable, especially that which relates to the numbers and locations of the Indian Tribes of the Far West, Rupert's Land, and Oregon. It embodies the discoveries of Lewis and Clark as well as Vancouver, which makes the map the most important of the period, especially with regard to California, Oregon and the Rockies, in fact, it is impossible to state how valuable it is to the student of exploration of the Far West and Pacific Coast." See 105:235 for 1802 version. Prime meridian: London. Relief: hachures. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: III MS note: 105/441.
