Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/George Washington's map of the Ohio River region

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - George Washington's map of the Ohio River and surrounding region with notes on French intentions, 1753 or 1754.
Reason
A historic map not just because of who made it, but because it documents the beginning of the French and Indian War. Washington worked as a surveyor in his youth, so he was capable of producing this himself and the source attributes it directly to him. Restored version of Image:Washington Pennsylvania Map.jpg.
