A map of the British and French dominions in North America
A map of the British and French dominions in North America, with the roads, distances, limits, and extent of the settlements. The map was created in 1755 by John Mitchell (1711-1768), a respected British physician, botanist, chemist, biologist, and surveyor. Mitchell’s Map of the British and French Dominions in North America . . . is widely regarded as the most important map in American History. The map of the British colonies served as the foundation for establishing the boundaries of the new country at the Treaty of Paris in 1783 after the American Revolutionary War.
