"Georgia from the Latest Authorities", Payne, John

This uncommon map covers the region from the Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi River, including present-day Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. There is good topographical information, particularly for the eastern section near the coast. Early counties in Georgia are named and their boundaries given. The interior is labeled Country of the Creek Nation of Indians with several other tribes located and the notation "These Parts are little known." Several trading paths to the interior are shown. This is a re-engraving based upon earlier maps by Tanner in 1796 and Carey in 1795.
