In this map, I noticed that everything is spaced out equally and divided into bigger sections that are turned into smaller sections. I also noticed that there is some sort of wall that seems to be keeping the map/district in one area and not expanding anywhere else. This map can tell a lot about America. It shows that there was a lot being done to make districts equal among different classes. At the center of this map, is where the highest members of the area live and the social classes expand out from there to show the rank that they have in society. This shows that social class was very important during the 1700s. This relates back to many other narratives during this time because society was always split up according to your social class. This is the same on this map, with the higher social members being in the center of the town and the lower classes being spread out to the outskirts of the town. “In noting how areas of an unfamiliar land replicated locations in Europe and were suited to English industry, Smith made a new landscape seem a natural extension of the old.” This relates back to this map because it is showing that the landscape is becoming more like the European locations than it originally had because it is very spaced out and related back to the social classes.
