Kurt, Nice catch on the Ruggles map of New Hampshire; I at least had never noticed the different states of the map. David Cobb's "New Hampshire Maps" catches 3 editions, dating them 1817 (item #94), 1837 (#129), and 1844 (#152), but he does not note the additional counties. I had a long look at the map on ebay. I know it seems improbable, but the "mushy" quality of the printing suggests to me that it may be a reproduction (See for example the 11th image in the Auctiva set.) I'd be interested in your (or others') thoughts on the matter.
