"Partie Meridionale de la Louisiane, avec la Floride, la Caroline et la Virginie…", D'Anville/Santini

This is an interesting Italian version of D'Anville's map of the Southeast. It is most notable for the incorrect boundaries showing a huge Louisiana extending eastward to include present-day Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama. The boundary between the Carolinas and Florida is show at the Alatamaha ou George R, and Georgia does not yet exist. On the left part of the map is the note of Presidio Espagnol de la Prov. De Tecas in modern-day Texas. Good detail of towns and cities, Indian villages and tribes, rivers, portages, forts, harbors and early place names.
