Item pdcc00590, top [image dimensions 21.0 cm x 14.5 cm]:

This is a portion of a map of New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania produced by H. Moll in 1708. It was reproduced in David Humphrey's account of the missions in the British colonies to the year 1728, published in London in 1730.

Despite the date of the original map, Moll still shows a divided New Jersey, which had been reunified in 1702.
