North America by Arrowsmith, 1802

This map (first edition in 1795, last edition in 1850) was the first to give a detailed view of the western and northern parts of the continent. It contains information reported by recent expeditions to Canada. The western portion of the United States was updated following the expedition by Lewis and Clark (1803-1806). The Ac Ko Mok Ki indigenous map and other data provided by the Native peoples enabled the mapmaker to describe vast regions.
