Brief Description: First printed map to show the disputed region between the United States and Canada which would finally be resolved in August, 1842 with the signing of the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. Henderson compiled the Maine-Canada boundary dispute illustrating the boundaries claimed by Canada and by the United States along with the proposed county boundaries for Cornwallis and Gaspe counties. On the map are Henderson's annotations about the area impacted by the dispute. Above, left is a hand colored engraving by Hudson River School artist James Smillie depicting a view of the proposed town on Lake Etchemin.
