Greetings Maphisters,
How many states of this map are known?
I have found only 3 image files of this map online:
David Rumsey's:
www.lunacommons.org/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~2170~190064
Knotty Pine Antiques:

And one recently sold on ebay:

<http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/showimage.aspx?gid=754450&ppid=1122&image=529728218&images=529728153,529728218,529728272,529728327,529728395,529728454,529728490,529728539,529728589,529728657,529728721,529728791,529728861,529728901,529728942&formats=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0&format=0>
The first two claim to be 1817 & 1818 respectively, however both show
eight counties. The ebay map shows only six counties. Given that
Merrimack County was created in 1823 and Sullivan County in 1827, I
would assume that Rumsey's and Knotty Pine's maps were later printings
of a revised plate. The ebay map would appear to be the genuine 1817
version.
Dartmouth's Evans map room call no. G3740 1837 .R83 s
http://libcat.dartmouth.edu/record=b1442633~S1
<http://libcat.dartmouth.edu/record=b1442633%7ES1> lists an "Improved
1837" version.
Has anyone compiled a list of states of this map?
Respectfully,
Kurt Masters,
Milan, NH
