This cluster map shows the geographic concentration of individuals identified in William Burke’s memoir. Rather than tracing a single journey, it highlights the places where Burke’s social and religious world was most densely connected. Each cluster represents a location or region associated with people he encountered, visited, or named in the course of his travels. The map helps reveal patterns that are harder to see in a simple alphabetical index: strong concentrations in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey; repeated contact with ministers, householders, civic figures, and religious supporters; and the importance of local communities in sustaining Burke’s work. The clusters should be read as interpretive rather than exhaustive. They reflect current project identifications and will continue to change as additional people and places are confirmed. Together, they show that Burke’s memoir is not only a personal narrative, but also a record of regional networks in the early American republic.
