A rare map dating back to around 1783, created by John Russell, showing the United States shortly after the conclusion of the American Revolutionary War.

The depicted borders stretch from the middle of the Great Lakes (excluding Michigan) in the north, extending southward to West Florida, and from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean in the east.

John Russell created this map, and it was engraved by William Darton in Tottenham, situated in the northern part of London. It originally formed part of the 1785 edition of Guthrie's New System of Geography.
