A rare map of Pennsylvania, more commonly seen in the 1775 Sayer and Bennett version which appeared in Faden's 1777 North American Atlas. Scull's map notes that it shows "the whole line run by Messrs. Mason & Dixon"; Scull also marks the site of General Edward Braddock's defeat at the battle of the Monongahela River during the French and Indian War.
