    When people want to insert a state map into text about America in the 1700s, they simply cut out the 13 original states from a contemporary map and use those sizes and shapes. The problem is that the contemporary states don't reflect the states of 1700 America (ie: West Virginia was part of Virginia, the northern border of Pennsylvania and New York was much further north than it is today, etc.) Where can I find maps that show the evolution of the borders of the 13 original colonies during the 1600s and 1700s and how they gradually transformed into their current shapes?
