DescriptionPocket map of Vermont, New Hampshire and southern Maine, with Lower Canada to the north, New Brunswick to the east, the border of Massachusetts to the south, and the border of New York to the west. The boundaries between the states are outlined in pink, and the states themselves are divided into counties, colored pink, blue, yellow or green. Roads are shown and the locations of towns are marked with circles and the town's name. The Explanation mentions lines used to denote canals and proposed canals, although there do not appear to be any shown on the map. Physical features depicted include elevation, conveyed with hachure marks; lakes; rivers; and islands. An inset map in the top left shows northern Maine.
