Image Info Anthony Barclay and David Thompson created this double-sided rough manuscript map, part of an 8-map portfolio labeled "A" through "I," with detailed notes related to the drawing of the northern international boundary under the 7th article of the Treaty of Ghent (1814). This section is marked as "B," "Sheet No. 2 and Page No. 2," and the reverse "F, H," "Page No. 7 and Sheet No. 2." Surveys for the 6th and 7th Articles were undertaken between 1817-1827.
