1795 MAP OF KENTUCKY BY BARKER: An excellent example of Matthew Carey's map of Kentucky, published in Carey's American Edition of Guthrie's Geography in 1795. Carey's American Atlas was the first atlas published in the United States, compiling a number of excellent maps from indigenous sources in the first compilation of American maps. The map extends into Northwest Territory, and tracks much of the Wabash River to Prairie Meadow and St. Vincents.. The map is based upon an original manuscript map drawn by Elihu Barker. Kentucky obtained statehood in 1792, with Barker's map being the first large format map of the state. 9 1/2''h x 20''w. Fair condition
