Revolutionary Map of New Jersey, 1777
William Faden, a noted English publisher who specialized in maps and prints, published his The Province of New Jersey divided into East and West, Commonly called the Jerseys in 1777. The map is often considered a "revolutionary" map for both its detailed depiction of topography in the northern part of the state, and its indication of boundary lines demarcating "West Jersey" and "East Jersey."
The map features an extraordinary number of city and town names throughout the colony. Although the level of detail is much greater on this map, a comparison of those place names with those found on Abel Buell's Map of United States of North America suggests this map as a source. |
