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

This is a fascinating 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, Alabama and western Virginia. The boundary between the Carolinas and Florida is show at the Alatamaha ou George R. Georgia is not delineated but is named along the coastline. In modern-day Texas is the note of Presidio Espagnol de la Prov. De Tecas. The map is filled with good detail of towns and cities, Indian villages and tribes, rivers, portages, forts, harbors and early place names.
