Original caption: "
A NEW AND ACCURATE MAP OF NORTH AMERICA, (WHEREIN THE ERRORS OF ALL PRECEDING BRITISH, FRENCH AND DUTCH MAPS RESPECTING THE RIGHTS OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE & SPAIN, & THE LIMITS OF EACH OF HIS MAJESTY'S PROVINCES, ARE CORRECTED.) Humbly inscribed... By his most obliged, most obedient and very humble servant, Huske. Tho: Kitchin sculpt. The map (McCorkle #755.16, Seller & van Ee #67) is from The Present State of North America by John Huske, and also appeared in a 1760 book by William Douglass. The coverage extends from Newfoundland to Florida, with an inset of the Hudson Bay area. Pennsylvania extends above 42 degrees and has an irregular western boundary that is the mirror image of the eastern. Illustrated in Fite & Freeman #48. This image is from the Library of Congress.
