Early nineteenth century map of the state of Virginia colorfully delineated into counties. There is good detail of topography, settlements and roads. The western part of the state is relatively unsettled. A few counties, such as Albemarle, are not labeled. Carey's General Atlas of 1814 was the first atlas made in the United States to employ hand coloring as a standard on the maps.
