The upper-left corner of "A Map of the Most Inhabited Part of New England...," this detail shows settlement growth in the lands between the Connecticut and Hudson Rivers.

As these lands developed, border disputes among Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York became more heated. Eventually much of this contested territory became Vermont. |
