First state. This detailed map covers the region from Chesapeake Bay to St. Augustine, Florida and west to Pensacola Bay and the Country of the ‘Charokees’ indicating the first state, rather than the Cherokees of the 1752 edition. The map is derived from the Carolina sheet of Popple’s great twenty-sheet map of North America (1733). It is most notable for its placement of forts and Indian villages. It also includes information on towns, early forts, mines, and several English Factories. The central legend describes the alliance made by the British with the Cherokees to provide a buffer against French and Spanish military advances.
