This first state map of the Carolinas features a legend that identifies district lines, 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. This attractive early American map was engraved by Doolittle and carries the imprint of Thomas & Andrews above upper neatline.
References: Wheat & Brun #585.
Condition: B+
Nice impression with some light offsetting and scattered foxing.
