Description
Area map of the Chesapeake Bay showing the boundary lines claimed by Maryland and Viginia between 1632 and 1877, from Charles O. Paullin, Atlas of the Historical Geography of the United States, Baltimore, MD: A. Hoen & Co., Inc., 1932. Source: Ancestory.com. [This is Paulin's reconstruction of the arbitration award for which we have the original, official chart on line. Paullin added Mathew's work on defining how the boundary was to run according to the award. It is interesting that he chose not to extend the map above tidewater, which, of course is exactly what Maryland argues was not done because the 1785 agreement pertained only to tidewater.
