Map or Atlas
Part of North America Containing Canada, the North Parts of New England and New York: With Nova Scotia and Newfoundland
| Map showing New York, New England, and south eastern Canada. Boundaries, ports, and a few cities are shown, but the map focuses on regions, Native American land, mountains, rivers, lakes, and the fishing banks off of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. An inset map in the lower left corner shows the Great Lakes and the surrounding lakes, rivers, boundaries, and Niagara Falls. The inset further highlights the northern and southern limits of Canada, placing all of the Great Lakes except for Lake Erie firmly in Canada. |
