Virginia by Thomas Jefferson 1787
While serving as the American minister in Paris, Thomas Jefferson prepared in 1786 a detailed draft of a map of Virginia and its neighbouring states to accompany his Notes on the State of Virginia. Jefferson writes about this map: "The country on the eastern side of the Allegany Mountains, is taken from Fry and Jefferson's Map of Virginia and Scull's Map of Pennsylvania ... that on the western side of the Allegany, is taken from Hutchins ... additions have been made, where they could be made on sure ground." This is the only printed map attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
