About this item

This map, the first printed in England’s American colonies, illustrates the geographic extent of King Philip’s War (also known as “Metacom’s War”, 1675-1676). Oriented with west at the top, the map shows the pattern of colonial settlement moving from the Atlantic coast inland to the Connecticut River Valley. Tribal names (“Nipmuck”) and locations (“Mount-hope,” Philip’s village) indicate the Indigenous presence. Numbers on the map identify villages that had experienced attacks during the conflict.
