"This interesting map may or may not have been executed from information furnished by George Washington. It is probably a composite map based on the best information available to the publisher, who was primarily interested in maps and charts, about the lands between Blue Ridge and the "Endless Mountains" to the east, and the Mississippi River on the west..." Washington's Journal provides an account of delivering a message from the British Ministry to the French telling them to vacate their fort and leave the Ohio. (pg. 91-92)
