Notes	Date range from previous British Library cataloguing and attributed on stylistic grounds (compare published maps referring to the "Seat of War" in New England?), but towards the latter end of this range (1770s) seems probable. Relief shown pictorially. With no title, no scale and no information about the cartographer this map shows parts of present-day Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. Shows roads. Shows three forts at the confluence of the "Ashulot" (Ashuelot) and "Connecticut" rivers - "F. Dummer", "Hindsels F" and "Shanaks Ft". Previously catalogued with a sketch map showing Fort Detroit (Add Ms 21,686.72.) Copy at Add Ms 21,686.70-71. Bound in a volume. Manuscript addition of "71" in pencil at upper left, and with "70" to verso. Laid on archival tissue. Paper watermark shows a coat of arms with "CB" beneath. Paper countermark shows "JW".
