    And probably last that I have to post, the First map made by an American and published in America, by Abel Buell 1784. Only 7 copies are known to exist.

    Here's the home page of the exhibit. It includes an online exhibit as well. Note I have not looked at it so I do not know what is there.

    Yeah, the files on the homepage have clearly a better quality . Also, i think most of the maps from the library of congress are digitized and accessible online already. Thanks for sharing nonetheless!
