The Abel Buell Flag, depicted in the cartouche of Abel Buell's 1784 map, is one of the earliest representations of the United States flag, symbolizing the unity of the original 13 states. Created by Buell, a skilled cartographer and engraver, it appears alongside allegorical figures like Fame and Liberty, celebrating the nation’s newfound independence. This flag is a centerpiece of Buell’s historic map, the first map of the United States compiled, printed, and published in America by an American. Currently housed at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the map and its flag design embody the optimism and patriotic spirit of a young nation.
