This map shows the newly established United States' territories as set by the Treaty of Paris. Faden's American maps were continually revised from 1777 to 1843 and so are of great importance in charting the territorial development of the early United States. Our map is the second revision of 1783. Here, many boundaries and several topographical features have been left undetermined due to the incomplete exploration of the continent. The courses of the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers were still unclear and as a result Georgia, Pennsylvania and New York have undetermined western borders with the Iroquois and Appalachians.
