First published in 1795, and included in Scott's United States Gazetteer, this later state presents minor changes with the most notable being the two short lines added to most of the circles marking the towns.

A few small repairs in the margins (occasionally only slightly impacting the border); some light spotting and areas of browning, including along central fold line; fairly subtle vertical folds; not examined outside the frame.
