This uncommon small map depicts the coastline from St. Augustine to St. Helena Sound and inland as far as Augusta. The boundary between Georgia and Florida is shown as of 1738. There are only a few settlements and one road connecting Augusta, Savannah and St. Augustine. Simple title block and fine fleur-de-lis topped compass rose are the only embellishments.
