This map by John Forrester depicts the New England area. In the top right corner, the map reads, Being the first that ever was here cut, and done by the best Pattern that could be had, which being in some places defective, it made the other less exact: yet fourth it sufficiently shew the Scituation of the Country and conveniently well the distance of Places.” The numbers on the map represent towns that had been attacked by Indians during King Phillip’s War. Note that the orientation is different, with Cape Cod being on the bottom, and Boston & Maine to the east. “
