A map of New England

A map of New England

This is a facsimile of the folding map of New England originally published in this volume, attributed to John Foster, who is thought to have been the only man in Boston to have made woodcuts during that period. The layout of the map might be slightly disorienting because it depicts the western part of New England along the top of the sheet and the northern regions (including the White Hills of what is now New Hampshire) along the right side. The survey was commissioned by the government of Massachusetts to justify the colonies northern and southern boundaries, which are indicated by two parallel lines on the map. The map shows New England from Nantucket to Pemaquid Point and from New Haven almost to the White Mountains. Map shows name of places, distances, rivers, sailing ships, etc

A map of New England, being the first that ever was here cut, and done by the best pattern that could be had, which being in some places defective, it made the other less exact: Yet doth it sufficiently show the situation of the country and conveniently well the distance of Places. The figures that are joyned with the Names of Places are to distinguish such as have been assaulted by the Indians from others. (to accompany) A Narrative of the Troubles with the Indians in New-England, from ... 1607 to this present year 1677. (with) The Happiness of a People in the Wisdome of their Rulers Directing and in Obedience of their Brethren Attending unto what Israel ought to do: Recommended in a Sermon ... Boston, Printed by John Foster. 1676.
