The first state of this map of the Carolinas features a key to roads, chapels, courthouses, meeting houses and dwellings. The counties and districts in each state are named but are only delineated in South Carolina. There is a Moravian settlement near Guilford, NC. The Tennessee Gov't borders North Carolina to the west. Roads, lighthouses, forts and topography are among the other details on this attractive early American map.
