Note:
Colored view of Richmond. Lacks top & bottom middle sheets. An incomplete copy, with the missing two center sheets supplied in facsimile (from the Clements Library copies of the 1807 issue). Seven sheets in all: the 1807 and 1818 issues of the left top (the "Ohio" sheet) and bottom, and the right bottom, and the 1818 sheet of the right top (view of Richmond - which is colored). These sheets were acquired by a collector along with seven other copies of the view sheet, over fifty copies of the Ohio (top left) sheet, and an unknown number of the bottom left and right sheets. No copies of the center sheets were found with this group. Madison was first cousin of President Madison, was President of William and Mary College and organized the production of this map. William Davis drafted the map and William Prentis supervised the surveying and compiling. A second issue was redrafted by Davis in 1818, after Madison's death. It served as the most authoritative map of Virginia until 1827 (when the Wood/Boye map was published), and was the first comprehensive road map of the state. Includes explanatory remarks, showing State line, county line, towns, roads, and selected buildings. Relief shown by hachures.
