An uncommon and important 1785 - 88 Charles Delamarche and Charles Dien map of the fledgling United States shortly after the American Revolutionary War. This map is important as the first to describe the 1784 Jeffersonian Ordinance, in doing so the first to apply the term Michigan to a land area, and for its detailed illustration of the new international borders ratified under the 1783 Treaty of Paris. It is also the first to show the mercantile concession 'Indiana' in the vicinity of modern-day West Virginia. Geographically the map covers from James Bay and Labrador to Florida and the Bahamas, as well as from the Rio de Norte (Rio Grande) to the Atlantic seaboard and Newfoundland. (more details)
