The United States According to the Definitive Treaty of Peace Signed at Paris Sept. 3d. 1783

Philadelphia mapmaker William McMurray published this map of the new borders of the United States as determined by the Treaty of Paris in December 1784. The map includes the boundaries of the original thirteen colonies, along with the additional western territory gained by the treaty. McMurray wrote in a caption on the map that “what contributed most to its accuracy, were the unpublished Surveys, consisting of many thousands of Miles, forming a connection thro’ the whole (except what lies N.W. of the double dotted line:) which Surveys with many good Sketches, have been furnished for this usefull work, by the Geographers and other curious Gentlemen, who for particular purposes, had made large collections of them.”
