The state is divided into just five counties, Cheshire, Hillsborough, Rockingham, Strafford, and Grafton, compared to the ten counties that make up the state today. Just to the right of the state is a wonderful notation regarding the White Mountains that reads "The White Hills appear many leagues off at Sea like White Clouds just rising above the Horizon." Another notation worthy of attention appears in the very top corner of the state. It reads "Indian Carrying place"and refers to a location on the Connecticut River where the Indians could easily carry (of portage) their canoes across land.Matthew Carey was the first major American publisher of maps and atlases, and hisatlas of 1795 is one of the landmarks of early American cartography because it contained some of the first printed maps of many states.

He set up an elaborate cottage system of craftsmen for engraving, printing and coloring his maps utilizing the best independent artists directed to a common end.
