Geographical Description:
This is a very early map of the Georgia Colony, but it also includes a portion of the Carolina Colony and Spanish Florida. The Georgia Colony was founded by James Oglethorpe in 1732 and it is likely that the first state of this map appeared in a book encouraging settlement the following year. This map is the second state, and it is said that Oglethorpe made a few changes to lessen the fears of settling on the frontier, including removing references to war with American Indians.

Cartobibliographic notes:
This is the second state of the map. The original, likely by Herman Moll and published in 1732, was almost certainly based on A Map of South Carolina Shewing the Settlements of the English, French, & Indian Nations from CharlesTown to the River Missisipi (Mississippi) by Captain Tho. Nairn. Thomas Nairn's map appeared, with another, as an inset on Edward Crisp's important work, A Compleat Description of the Province of CAROLINA in 3 Parts. The Nairn map is very rare, with copies at the Library of Congress, John Carter Brown Library, British Public Record Office, the Huntington Library, and the Henry P. Kendall Collection, University of South Carolina.
