Map of the Northern Parts of United States of America -1805

A most interesting copper plate engraving  of the northern region of a young United States. Created by Abraham Bradley, Jr. and published in 1804 as part of Jedidiah Morse’ American Gazetteer. The map covers the region from the District of Maine south to Virginia & “Kentuckey”, and westward to just beyond the Mississippi River. West of the Mississippi are lands "Reserved by the U.S."  In the  Old North West frontier are Large Meadows…, Coal Mines, and Very Large Meadows. St. Louis is located by a tiny dot. A Great Cave is located just west of Kentucky near the Ohio River. Lines show the "Indian Boundary" and "Gen. Wayne's Treaty 1795" line. Beyond this line numerous reservations are located including Chicago. A portion of northern Ohio is called New Connecticut and five proposed new states are indicated with Roman numerals, which match closely Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
