Article III of the Treaty, concerning fishing rights, is reprinted next to the cartouche, which includes one of the earliest representations of an American Flag to appear on a printed map.
There is also excellent detail on the locations of forts and mines, the Indian tribal territories and villages in the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys, including the Choctaws and the Cherokees.
Robert Laurie (ca. 1755-1836) and James Whittle (1757-1818) were London based map and atlas publishers, considered to be the successors of their employer Robert Sayer. Laurie and Whittle published numerous maps and atlases, often bringing in other important cartographers of the day, to update existing Sayer plates. The company still exist as an English publisher of nautical maps Imray, Laurie, Norie and Wilson Ltd, and considered the oldest map publisher in Europe.
