This hand-colored map of Vermont is part of the
General Atlas of the World, published in 1814 by Matthew Carey of
Philadelphia. The author, Amos Doolittle, was a prolific early
map maker.
This is a later edition of the map first issued
by the Doolittle-Carey team in 1795. Like many maps included
in atlases, this one is slightly out of date. We note, for
instance, that the town of Dummerston is called "Fulham" on this
map. This nonmenclature may have been accurate when it
appeared in the 1795 edition of the atlas, but the permanant change
to the name "Dummerston" occured shortly thereafter.
The most
notable features of this map are the many old Vermont town names,
especially in the area we now call the "Northeast Kingdom", where we
see towns such as Billymead, Random, Navy, and Carthage. In
addtion a few major roads are shown, such as the "Hazen Road", also
known as the Bayley-Hazen Military Road. |
