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.
