Description

A hand colored map, created by one of the most prolific cartographers of the 18th century, Johann Baptiste Homann, known as the buffalo map, due to the stylized depictions of buffalo featured in the top left and bottom right corners, depicts what would become the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. Our version was likely printed around 1763 although the original date on the map is 1687.
