- Description
Map of Virginia and parts of Maryland, North Carolina, and New Jersey. It shows borders, boundary lines, some Native American land, counties, cities, towns, roads, meadows, swamps, mountains, islands, bays, lakes, and rivers. Plantations are shown, marked by the plantation owners name. Annotations dot the map, describing the lands, boundaries, and roads, such as a note on one road in North Carolina reading "the Trading Path leading to the Catawbau & Cherokee Indian Nations." The map includes a distance chart near the upper left corner by John Dalrymple. A scene of a tobacco warehouse and wharf, showing European men writing, talking, and smoking, while slaves work or serve drinks, decorates the title cartouche in the lower right corner.
