SENEX, John (d. 1740). A New Map of Virginia Mary-land and the Improved Parts of Penn-sylvania & New Jersey . London, 1719/1721.
SENEX, John (d. 1740). A New Map of Virginia Mary-land and the Improved Parts of Penn-sylvania & New Jersey . London, 1719/1721. Engraved map of Virginia and Maryland, partially hand-colored in outline, image 482 x 560 mm. (Some light staining and offsetting.) Matted and framed (not examined out of frame). Third state of Christopher Browne's seminal map, first issued in 1685, here with changes to the cartouche and dated 1719. 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; Tooley p. 104; Stephenson & McKee Virginia in Maps p.87.
