RARE, Final State of Braddock Mead's map of New England is widely considered the single most influential map of New England published during the British Colonial period.

First issued in 1755, the map provided the largest-scale and most detailed and accurate portrait of the region to date. Its importance was such that it was revised and reissued well into the 1790s, and over this period it served as a primary source for leading European and American mapmakers. After Sayer's death in 1794, his assistants Robert Laurie and James Whittle quickly changed the imprints on many of the maps he had published, to reflect their new roles in the firm. However by that time the map could hardly be called up-to-date, and it saw only a very limited run.
