• Depicts northeastern North America from the Mississippi River to the mid-Atlantic Ocean and to the Gulf of Mexico.
• British map of the landscape that denotes habitats and species, e.g., “land for deer, bear, and buffalo.” And, cultural notes that can be read as interpretation by the British of colonizing efforts, e.g., ideal locations for English factories, waterways, trails,paths, Indigenous towns, and historical points-of-interest. The “Tomees” and “Mobiliees” are depicted in the same general locations as previous maps. The "Towasans" are shown between the old and new "Fort Lewis."
