File:Mitchell Map-06full2.jpg to appear as POTD soon[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Mitchell Map-06full2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 24, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-07-24. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 17:15, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The Mitchell Map is the most comprehensive map of eastern North America made during the colonial era. Measuring about 6.5 ft (2.0 m) wide by 4.5 ft (1.4 m) high, it was produced by John Mitchell in 1757 in eight separate sheets. The map was used during the Treaty of Paris for defining the boundaries of the United States, and remains important today for resolving border disputes.Author: John Mitchell; scan: Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division.
