With the end of the war arrived a new sense of American pride and confidence, and detailed mapping of the states and their cities came into great demand partly for administrative purposes. Osgood Carleton was at the forefront of this trend and with the assistance of the Massachusetts Historical Society, lobbied the Massachusetts State Legislature to pass a resolution in 1794 directing each town to prepare an accurate town map. This is the second map of Massachusetts by Carleton. His first was made in 1798, but when the Massachusetts Historical Society examined the engraved plates, they deemed his work to be unsatisfactory. Working from Carleton's design and the information he gathered, the map was re-engraved by Samuel Hill and Joseph Callender and published by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1801. This map is now known as the first official map of Massachusetts. Engraving Engraved by Joseph Callender and Samuel HillVignette Drawn by G. GrahamThomas & Andrews: Boston, 1801 1801 Size: Unframed: 47 x 31.5".
