SENEX, John (d. 1740). A New Map of Virginia Mary-land and the Improved Parts of Penn-sylvania & New Jersey . London, 1719 [but 1721].
SENEX, John (d. 1740). A New Map of Virginia Mary-land and the Improved Parts of Penn-sylvania & New Jersey . London, 1719 [but 1721]. Engraved map, partially hand-colored in outline, 480 x 553 mm platemark (535 x 630 mm sheet). (Tears at ends of central fold neatly closed with some associated pale staining.) Third state of Christopher Browne's seminal map, first issued in 1685, here with changes to the cartouche. It was published in John Senex's A New General Atlas , London, 1721, and is a revised state of Christopher Browne's map, an important delineation of the Chesapeake Bay region, derived mainly from the earlier surveys of Augustine Herrman (1673). This is also one of the earliest maps to adopt a North-South orientation on the page. The boundary for Delaware (then part of Pennsylvania) is shown, favoring the claims of Lord Baltimore, rather than the Cape Henelopen boundary, which was finally ratified by the British Courts when the dispute was settled in the 1730s and finally mapped by Mason & Dixon several decades later. New Jersey is divided into East and West Jersey. From Senex's New General Atlas , London, 1721. Cumming p.293; On the Map 24; Stevens & Tree 86c; Stephenson & McKee Virginia in Maps p.87.
