Outline map of the town, showing the College [of William and Mary] and the roads to the landing places at Queen's Creek and Archer's Hope Creek. Reference tables to boundary courses and distances; descriptive reference note on boundaries. Decorated with the royal coat of arms and a pair of entwined snakes. Scale: 1 inch to about 2 chains.
