Description
Alternate title from cover. This map is similar to the J. Starr Map, RB 72990, but appears to be an English copy. It is re-engraved with several differences. Missouri Territory is labeled Oregon Territory. Michigan has expanded to part of the North West Territory. Missouri has extended south along the Mississippi River. Western mountain ranges are added. Hence this seems to have been done later than 72990 which is dated 1826. Prime meridian: London, Washington. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Polyconic. Printing Process: Engraving. Verso Text: MS notes: figures. George Sparrow Junior (twice) Mar 19 XCMP.
