A composite of the four original and two facsimile sheets. Lacks top & bottom middle sheets. An incomplete copy, with the missing two center sheets supplied in facsimile (from the Clements Library copies of the 1807 issue). Seven sheets in all: the 1807 and 1818 issues of the left top (the "Ohio" sheet) and bottom, and the right bottom, and the 1818 sheet of the right top (view of Richmond - which is colored). These sheets were acquired by a collector along with seven other copies of the view sheet, over fifty copies of the Ohio (top left) sheet, and an unknown number of the bottom left and right sheets. No copies of the center sheets were found with this group. Madison was first cousin of President Madison, was President of William and Mary College and organized the production of this map. William Davis drafted the map and William Prentis supervised the surveying and compiling. A second issue was redrafted by Davis in 1818, after Madison's death. It served as the most authoritative map of Virginia until 1827 (when the Wood/Boye map was published), and was the first comprehensive road map of the state. Includes explanatory remarks, showing State line, county line, towns, roads, and selected buildings. Relief shown by hachures.

[Lea, Philip, Thornton, John, Morden, Robert]
Note
"Early and highly important map of the English Colonies in North America, which includes the earliest printed plan of New York Harbor. Thornton, Morden & Lea's map is the first obtainable state of the finest general map of England’s American colonies to date. The map is one of the earliest to include Augustine Herrman’s cartography for Virginia and Maryland. To the North it includes one of the earliest depictions of the Pennsylvania colony (est. 1681), the first printed chart of New York Harbor, and significant additions to the cartography of New England. The map shows the English colonies from Cape Ann in Massachusetts to Cape Henry at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. The map extends as far north as the tributaries of the Hudson, and in the southwest it shows the Delaware and Susquehannah Rivers and as far west as the tributaries of the Potomac and Rapahannock. Augustyn and Cohen note the importance of the inset:: 'To the ambitious person, the map would have presented an enticing vista: it displays a loose federation of colonies, between and beyond which there appears to be ample unclaimed land. It creates an image of an area comfortingly linked by civilization but still containing much open territory.'The geography of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey derives from the Thornton-Greene Mapp of Virginia Mary-land, New Jarsey, New-York, & New England (ca 1678), whose depiction of the region is in turn based largely on Augustine Herrman’s Virginia and Maryland (1673). The Thornton-Morden-Lea departs from these prototypes, however, in showing the new colony of Pennsylvania and incorporating changes to the course of the Delaware and place names along its banks. New York and southern New England are drawn from the Thornton-Greene map, which in turn draws on John Seller’s Mapp of New England (1676). Here as well, Thornton, Morden and Lea, have departed substantially from the prototypes: Long Island’s barrier beaches are shown for the first time on a printed map and numerous place names are introduced along the Connecticut coast and on Cape Cod; the boundaries between Massachusetts, Plymouth and Connecticut colonies are drawn; and several roads are shown.
