The first map to eliminate "Middle British Colonies" and replace it with "Independent States of North America." Made after the Peace of 1782-3, published in "Bowles's Universal Atlas" with maps dated 1784, this date is confidently assigned although the map is undated. New additions, Vermont and moving part of New Hampshire to the east of the Connecticut River. "Boundary of the United States" lettered in Lake Ontario, and the dotted line extended through Lakes Erie and Huron. The lettering of Canada remains below the border in this issue.

Sayer & Bennett's reissue of the Kitchin-Jefferys-Sayer and Jefferys plate withdrawn in 1776 from the "American Atlas" reappears in altered form. Sayer & Bennett included this map in "The American Military Pocket Atlas" of 1776 with a dedication to Pownall indicating his probable approval of the map as revised (see 18226 for confirmation). New title added above the original, "The Seat of the War in the Middle British Colonies, containing Virginia, Maryland, The Delaware Counties, &c." Shapes of Lakes Ontario and Erie, the course of the Ohio River are revised, and "Province of Quebec" in large letters is added. The submap is expanded northward and renamed "A sketch of the upper parts of Canada." Submap: A sketch of the upper parts of Canada. MS note: 18225. Prime meridian: London, Philadelphia.
