    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: A new map of the United States of America : including part of Louisiana, drawn from the latest authorities/revised and corrected by Osgood Carleton, Esqr. It was published & sold by John Sullivan, Junr. in 1806. Scale [ca. 1:1,700,000]. This layer is image 6 of 7 total images of the eight sheet source map, representing the southeast portion of the map.The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Albers (NAD 1983) projected coordinate system. All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as drainage, cities and other human settlements, boundaries, selected townships and roads, shoreline features, and more. Relief shown pictorially and by hachures. Includes also a table of the ports of entry in the United States and a table showing the length and breadth of each state.This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.
