The map marks various settlements of the Senecas, Onondagas, and Cayugas along the Susquehanna River, and the length of travel between them. This map had borders drawn between Robert Livingston and three Iroquois delegates. The accompanying text explains that a detailed account of the river is necessary so that settlers may find their way along it. The text also notes that the Iroquois were satisfied and happy when they were told that settlers would soon move into this territory, as it would ease and increase trade and transportation in that area.
