Depicts the entire state, including the Hudson Valley, Long Island, eastern Pennsylvania & Delaware Bay; shows county boundaries and "Division line run in 1743 between East New Jersey and West New Jersey." "This map has been drawn from the survey made in 1769 by order of the commissioners appointed to settle the partition line between the Provences of New York & New Jersey by Bernard Ratzer ... and from another large survey of the northern parts in the possession of the Earl of Dunmore by Gerard Banker. The whole regulated and ascertained by astronomical observations."
