Uncommon early 19th century American engraved map with attractive hand color. 

American engraved maps of this era are considered fairly early, before the major blossoming of indigenous cartography which follows from the 1820's on.

Remains a nice looking example with a pleasing age patina. Any age flaws mostly minor and easy to overlook or forgive.
