The map referred to was apparently a separate publication, A copy of the Explanation, with map, is listed by Sabin (no. 18175) as being in the New York state library, but this is an error since the copy in question had no map. A map in the Library of Congress, which may be the one intended to accompany the Explanation, has the following title: A map of the federal territory from the western boundary of Pennsylvania to the Scioto River: laid down from the latest informations and divided into townships and fractional parts of townships agreeably to the ordinance of the Hon. Congress passed in May, 1785.
Signatures: [A]⁴ B-C⁴.
