An uncommon map of the Southeast, showing the regions east of the Mississippi in an unusual configuration. Present-day Tennessee is named as Caroline. North and South Carolina are named but shown without a separating boundary which was only first surveyed in 1735. The regions that would become Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia are within a large Louisiane and an oddly triangular Floride that reaches up to a range of mountains running east-west from the Appalachians to the Mississippi River. The map is filled with Indian place-names. The map appears in Nolin’s ‘Atlas General a l’usage des Colleges et Maisons …’ published by Mondhare in Paris, 1783. Phillips (A) 4297-36; Sellers & van Ee 1407.
