A part of our Good Stories About Great Stuff lecture series. Join us every Monday at 1:00 in the Hennage Auditorium to hear the stories behind some of Colonial Williamsburg's treasures directly from our experts.Three maps depicting a land dispute in 1740s New Jersey are the earliest American-made printed maps in Colonial Williamsburg's collection. Printers, cartographers, and engravers across multiple cities in Colonial America collaborated to create maps that promoted proprietary land claims. This lecture traces the development of the early American map-making industry and the contentious conflict over land that motivated the East Jersey Board of Proprietors to pursue this complicated project.
