A Sampler of Early North America Maps from the Library of Congress
1777, Esnauts et Rapilly, LOC
Compiled by Mike Slate October 2014 First Edition
Introduction The following are selections from the vast online cartographic resources of the Library of Congress (LOC), featuring North America from 1715 through 1818. Under each map’s heading—composed of date, attributed author, and source— users will find a link (URL) that will lead directly to the map on the LOC website, where the map can be enlarged and centered on any area. Also under the heading, researchers will find, when available, a second link that will lead to biographical information about the attributed author. Note that although antique maps are generally no longer under copyright protection, each user must necessarily decide whether to seek permission for republication and how to attribute items properly.
