Map of the 13 colonies of USA in 1775

Hai everyone,

This is my first post in my blog  which is created as a part of my elective(Cartography and Navigation)  assignment in my present sem.By this first post i am sharing with you a map of the 13 colonies of USA in 1775.The map is shown as below:

The 13 colonies indicated in the map are  Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.

I like this map due to some good points and to very little extent i also dislike this map beacuse of the following reasons :

I like this map because:

• Scale of the map is indicated.
• Lattitudes and longitudes are properly indicated.
• Usage of colour.
• Map projection is being used.
• Some of the features like hills are being indicated.
• The boundaries are also clearly outlined.

 I dislike this map because:

• Colonies can be indicated by different colours which would be more precise.
• Even some more physical  features can be indicated.
