Note 647 — Chapter IV

“A new map of Virginia, humbly dedicated to ye Right Honble Thomas Lord Fairfax, 1738,” in Keith’s Virginia. The Map of the most inhabited part of Virginia by Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson, 1751, published in London by Jeffreys, is the best known map of this period. The map which was engraved for Jefferson’s Notes on Virginia, 1787, which showed the country from Albemarle Sound to Lake Erie, was for the region east of the Alleghanies, based on Fry and Jefferson, and on Scull’s Map of Pennsylvania, “which was constructed chiefly on actual survey,” while that portion west of the mountains is taken from Hutchins. A fac-simile of this map is in the Notes which accompany the second volume of the Dinwiddie Papers.
