Mitchell Map - Use at The Treaty of Paris

Use At The Treaty of Paris

The Mitchell Map remained the most detailed map of North America available in the later eighteenth century. Various impressions (and also French copies) were directly used to help establish the boundaries of the new United States of America by diplomats at the Treaty of Paris (1783) that ended the American Revolutionary War. The map's inaccuracies inevitably led subsequently to a number of border disputes, particularly in Maine and near the source of the Mississippi River.
