To the lower left is a table listing the rates of watermen and coachmen, and to the left and right borders a list of places to be found upon the plan together with their grid reference.The map is an intermediate state between Howgego 80 states (1) - bearing a date of 1736 - and (2) bearing a date of 1742. The date on the present map has been altered to 1738.Scale: 11 inches to 1 statute mile.
