Detailed and important first state John Cary’s map of the American Midwest and the Old Northwest, great lakes regions as well as portions of the Eastern Seaboard and Canada , from his New Universal Atlas. The various frontier forts are shown, as are Indian villages, white settlements, etc. It includes numerous interesting notations particularly relating to navigation in the Great Lakes and portages throughout the region. The western boundary of the six Indian nations is shown to be a creek in western New York. An Indian boundary line by the treaty under General Wayne 1795 cuts through Ohio from St. Lawrence from Fort Recovery in Indiana territory and then south to the border to Kentucky. In Kentucky is a note "this colony was first discovered by Js. Macbride & others in the year 1754." Colonel D. Boon explored in 1769 and with his family and five others began the first settlement in 1773.
When we compare this copy of 1805 to a later edition of the same map dated 1819, one notices the gradual transformation of the Western Territory into the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and the Northwestern Terriotry." Sames, p115., Sames 115
