Additional Details

Scarce colonial map of the Southeast, originally appearing in John Harris' Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca or, Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels. Compiled from source maps and published little more than a dozen years after the founding of the colony, Bowen presented an entirely new map for the period, showing Georgia extending from the Atlantic as far west as the Mississippi River. Detailed information can be seen along the coast from Charleston to New Orleans, while much of the expansive interior is concerned with the settlements, the "Amity", and the trading roads of the Creek, Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes.
