Description

Gorgeous example of Carey's map of Ohio, one of the most influential early maps of Ohio.

The map is illustrated as Plate VII in Smith's Mapping of Ohio and receives several pages of discussion. Carey spent two paragaphs in the introductory notes to the 1814 edition of his atlas discussing this map.

Engraved by Samuel Lewis, Smith notes that the map is one of the first to depict the early counties of Ohio (23) and contains many interesting inaccuracies, Deerfield County (located above Hamilton & Clermont), which never existed. Gallia County is Galipolis and Columbiana is Columbia. Lewis paid particular attention to the Indian Wars between 1790 and 1794 an d the War of 1812. Carey had been criticized for his early depiction of this area. However, Fort Adams and Fort Recovery are still depicted too far to the West, outside of the State boundary, and Perry's victory in Lake Erie is referred to as Pudding Bay.

Carey's General Atlas published in 1814 was the first American Atlas to be offered for sale with hand coloring on the maps.
