"A Map of the Tennassee Government from the Latest Surveys", Payne, John

This is a very early depiction of Tennessee based on maps by Carey and Reid. The map details the topography and notes the early Kentucky Road as it winds down to the Holsten River, where Ross's Ironworks are located. The map also traces the Mississippi, Tennessee, and Cumberland Rivers, and extends as far south as the northern portion of what would become Alabama. The early settlements of Nashville, Knoxville and Clerksville are shown, and Fort Massac is located on the Ohio River.
