Additional Details

The map appeared only in the first edition of Melish's Military & Topographical Atlas of the United States published in 1813 with 8 maps. However, the map here was never included in a book as is it lacking any fold lines. It appears that it was issued separately. The sharp details and rich tone suggest any early pull from the plate. Rumsey 495. Ristow, pages 180-183.
