- This map depicts the British and French colonies at the onset of the French and Indian War. The War began in 1754, but it was not until 1756 that England declared war against France. The latest information from western Virginia (i.e., the Ohio Valley) has been included. The French forts in Ohio, which were defended from Braddock and Washington in 1754, are marked. Walker's Settlement of 1750 is also noted. The colonial boundaries are shown extending out beyond the Mississippi, with New England's claims reaching into Manitoba.

BMC 17--Dominia Anglorum in America Septentrionali, circa 1745
- In the mid-18th century, the Homann Heirs issued this group of four maps on a single sheet, which are based upon earlier maps by Herman Moll, published in London. Each of the maps was separately issued in Moll's Atlas Minor. The map titles are New Engelland, New York, New Yersey, und Pensilvania; Carolina neksteinem Theil von Florida; Virginia und Maryland; and New Founland od Terra Nova S. Laurentii Bay…New Schotland. The text at the bottom includes notes on the maps and the Iroquois Indians. The maps include the most current information from the British Colonies, including dozens of place names, Indian settlements, roads, and postal information. The maps also provide details on indigenous battles with the Indians by Col. Barnwell and Col Craven in the Carolina map, and details on Indian and English plantations on the Maryland and Virginia map.
