"Carte de la Caroline et Georgie", Bellin, Jacques Nicolas

Delicately engraved map of the colonies from Albemarle Sound to the Alatamaha River, present-day Edenton, NC to Jekyll Island, GA. The map is largely based on the work of Emanuel Bowen. Depicts numerous English settlements along the coast and Indian villages throughout, including a number west of the Appalachian Mountains. There is more detail in the area west of the Blue Ridge than in many other maps of the period including an early attempt to show the course of the Tennessee River in western North Carolina. Decorative title cartouche.
