DESCRIPTION :
THIS IS STATE 2 OF THE
MAP BY THIS TITLE,
CARTOGRAPHER AND DATE.
THIS STRANGE MAP SHOWS THE
MISCONCEPTIONS OF THE
REGION OF THE CENTRAL
ATLANTIC AREA AND THE
COUNTRY AS A WHOLE THAT A
WELL-INFORMED ENGLISHMAN OF
THE PERIOD COULD HOLD. JOHN
FARRER WAS AN IMPORTANT
OFFICER IN THE VIRGINIA
COMPANY. THE PRINTED MAP,
WHICH IS AN ELABORATION OF
HIS ROUGH MS. DRAFT OF
1650,SHOWED THE SOUTH SEA
AS 10 DAYS MARCH OVER THE
HILLS AND "RICH VALLEYES"
FROM THE HEAD OF THE JAMES
RIVER. IT SHOWS THE HUDSON
RIVER CONNECTED BY A LAKE
TO THE SEA OF CHINA
(PACIFIC).THE MURATUK
(ROANOKE) RIVER FLOWS FROM
THE SW INSTEAD OF FROM THE
NW. CUMMING SUGGESTS THIS
MAY HAVE INFLUENCED
LEDERER. BY AND LARGE,
HOWEVER, THE MAP DID NOT
INFLUENCE LATER MAP-MAKERS.
CARTOGRAPHICALLY THE
MAP IS OF INTEREST BECAUSE
IT GIVES NUMEROUS PLACE
NAMES FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THE MAP GIVES SHIRES AND
COUNTIES AND OTHER DETAILS
OF VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND
FOR THE FIRST TIME ON ANY
MAP, ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE
MARYLAND COUNTIES ARE
INCORRECT. IT ADDS DETAILS
CONCERNING DUTCH, SWEDISH
AND OTHER SETTLEMENTS.
LONG ISLAND EXTENDS N-S
INSTEAD OF E-W.ONE OF FEW
CORRECT DELINEATIONS IS THE
UNBROKEN RIDGE OF THE
APPALACHIANS, EXTENDING TO
THE HUDSON INSTEAD OF
STOPPING IN THE SOUTH; BUT
THE DIRECTION IS IN ERROR
IN RUNNING N-S. THE MOST
STRIKING FEATURE OF THE MAP
IS THE NARROWNESS OF THE
NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT.
THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THIS MAP AND THAT
OF SMITH ARE MARKED. THE
EASTERN SHORE IS MUCH MORE
CUT UP; THE
POCOMOKE(UNNAMED) IS TOO
BROAD,AND THE NAME
RAPPAHANOK SEEMS TO HAVE
BEEN APPLIED TO THE
NANTICOKE AND NOT TO THE
LITTLE CHOPTANK OR FISHING
BAY AS SMITH USED IT.
CHOPTANK RIVER IS ROUGHLY
OUTLINED AND THERE IS A
RIVER EMPTYING INTO THE
BAY,NOT FAR FROM WORTON
PT., WHICH MAY REPRESENT
THE CHESTER. THE PRESENT
ELK IS INDICATED WITHOUT
ANY NAME. THE WESTERN
SHORE IS EVEN MORE POORLY
DRAWN THAN THE EASTERN
SHORE AND GIVES NOTHING
BEYOND THE FACT THAT "THE
LORD BALTIMORS PLANTATION
BEGUN 1635." HOWEVER,
WROTH STATES THAT "IT IS
ONE OF THE TWO OR THREE
MOST INFORMATIVE MAPS OF
THAT AREA TO PROCEED FROM
THE FIRST HALF OF THE
SEVENTEENTH CENTURY". HE
NOTES THAT IT CORRECTLY
INDICATES THE NORTHEASTERN
TWIST OF THE CHESAPEAKE,
RECORDED BY JOHN SMITH AND
NEGLECTED BY MOST OTHER
CARTOGRAPHERS, "IT SHOWS
THE TWO BRANCHES OF THE
POTOMAC RIVER", AND IT
SHOWS THE LOCATION OF NOVA
ALBION, A COLONY PROPOSED
BY SIR EDMUND PLOWDEN.
THE MAP WAS FIRST
ENGRAVED FOR STEPHENSON'S
THIRD ED., 1651 OF EDWARD
WILLIAMS' VIRGO TRIUMPHANS:
OR, VIRGINIA RICHLY AND
TRULY VALUED ,LONDON,1650.
STEPHENSON ALSO PUBLISHED
IN 1651 EDWARD BLAND'S
DISCOVERY OF NEVV
BRITTAINE, SOME COPIES OF
WHICH HAVE FARRER'S MAP.
VIRGINIA FARRER, DAUGHTER
OF JOHN, WHO REMAINED A
SPINSTER AND DIED IN 1687,
MADE NUMEROUS ADDITIONS TO
THE MAP AFTER THE CHANGE OF
IMPRINT TO HER NAME WITHIN
THE FIRST YEAR OF
PUBLICATION. THERE IS SOME
CONJECTURE THAT SHE
ACTUALLY AUTHORED THE MAP.
DATA IS FROM CUMMING,
MATHEWS, PAPENFUSE, WROTH &

EDITION & STATE INFO :
ONE EDITION AND FIVE
STATES ARE KNOWN. VERNER
CONCLUDES THAT: 1) COPIES
OF THE 1ST TWO EDITIONS OF
WILLIAMS WHICH CONTAIN THE

2) ANY OF THE 1ST 4 STATES

CUT UP; THE
POCOMOKE(UNNAMED) IS TOO
BROAD,AND THE NAME
RAPPAHANOK SEEMS TO HAVE
BEEN APPLIED TO THE
NANTICOKE AND NOT TO THE
LITTLE CHOPTANK OR FISHING
BAY AS SMITH USED IT.
CHOPTANK RIVER IS ROUGHLY
OUTLINED AND THERE IS A
RIVER EMPTYING INTO THE
BAY,NOT FAR FROM WORTON
PT., WHICH MAY REPRESENT
THE CHESTER. THE PRESENT
ELK IS INDICATED WITHOUT
ANY NAME. THE WESTERN
SHORE IS EVEN MORE POORLY
DRAWN THAN THE EASTERN
SHORE AND GIVES NOTHING
BEYOND THE FACT THAT "THE
LORD BALTIMORS PLANTATION
BEGUN 1635." HOWEVER,
WROTH STATES THAT "IT IS
ONE OF THE TWO OR THREE
MOST INFORMATIVE MAPS OF
THAT AREA TO PROCEED FROM
THE FIRST HALF OF THE
SEVENTEENTH CENTURY". HE
NOTES THAT IT CORRECTLY
INDICATES THE NORTHEASTERN
TWIST OF THE CHESAPEAKE,
RECORDED BY JOHN SMITH AND
NEGLECTED BY MOST OTHER
CARTOGRAPHERS, "IT SHOWS
THE TWO BRANCHES OF THE
POTOMAC RIVER", AND IT
SHOWS THE LOCATION OF NOVA
ALBION, A COLONY PROPOSED
BY SIR EDMUND PLOWDEN.

DESCRIPTION :
THIS STRANGE MAP SHOWS
THE MISCONCEPTIONS OF THE
REGION OF THE CENTRAL
ATLANTIC AREA AND THE
COUNTRY AS A WHOLE THAT A
WELL-INFORMED ENGLISHMAN OF
THE PERIOD COULD HOLD. JOHN
FARRER WAS AN IMPORTANT
OFFICER IN THE VIRGINIA
COMPANY. THE PRINTED MAP,
WHICH IS AN ELABORATION OF
HIS ROUGH MS. DRAFT OF
1650,SHOWED THE SOUTH SEA
AS 10 DAYS MARCH OVER THE
HILLS AND "RICH VALLEYES"
FROM THE HEAD OF THE JAMES
RIVER. IT SHOWS THE HUDSON
RIVER CONNECTED BY A LAKE
TO THE SEA OF CHINA
(PACIFIC).THE MURATUK
(ROANOKE) RIVER FLOWS FROM
THE SW INSTEAD OF FROM THE
NW. CUMMING SUGGESTS THIS
MAY HAVE INFLUENCED
LEDERER. BY AND LARGE,
HOWEVER, THE MAP DID NOT
INFLUENCE LATER MAP-MAKERS.
CARTOGRAPHICALLY THE
MAP IS OF INTEREST BECAUSE
IT GIVES NUMEROUS PLACE
NAMES FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THE MAP GIVES SHIRES AND
COUNTIES AND OTHER DETAILS
OF VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND
FOR THE FIRST TIME ON ANY
MAP, ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE
MARYLAND COUNTIES ARE
INCORRECT. IT ADDS DETAILS
CONCERNING DUTCH, SWEDISH
AND OTHER SETTLEMENTS.
LONG ISLAND EXTENDS N-S
INSTEAD OF E-W.ONE OF FEW
CORRECT DELINEATIONS IS THE
UNBROKEN RIDGE OF THE
APPALACHIANS, EXTENDING TO
THE HUDSON INSTEAD OF
STOPPING IN THE SOUTH; BUT
THE DIRECTION IS IN ERROR
IN RUNNING N-S. THE MOST
STRIKING FEATURE OF THE MAP
IS THE NARROWNESS OF THE
NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT.
THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THIS MAP AND THAT
OF SMITH ARE MARKED. THE
EASTERN SHORE IS MUCH MORE
CUT UP; THE
POCOMOKE(UNNAMED) IS TOO
BROAD,AND THE NAME
RAPPAHANOK SEEMS TO HAVE
BEEN APPLIED TO THE
NANTICOKE AND NOT TO THE
LITTLE CHOPTANK OR FISHING
BAY AS SMITH USED IT.
CHOPTANK RIVER IS ROUGHLY
OUTLINED AND THERE IS A
RIVER EMPTYING INTO THE
BAY,NOT FAR FROM WORTON
