Geographical Description:
Important Revolutionary War-era map of the Southern British Colonies compiled by Bernard Romans for the American Military Pocket Atlas, the primary atlas carried into battle by British Officers during the American Revolution.
The map extends north to the Carolinas and the confluence of the Ohio & Mississippi Rivers and is based primarily upon the surveys of de Brahm, Collet, Mouzon and the contemporary hydrographical surveys of the coast of Florida by Bernard Romans.
Includes excellent detail and interesting notes throughout the map. The notes on Indian Tribes and Villages are also excellent. Shows early roads, towns, forts, rivers, mountains, mining regions, islands, and a host of other details.
The American Military Pocket Atlas, commonly known as the Holster Atlas, was a 6 map pocket atlas created for use by British military officers during the American Revolution. It includes insets of plans of St. Augustine and Charleston. The map is probably most noteworthy for its inclusion of details along coastal Florida, derived from the hydrographic surveys of Bernard Romans between 1771 and 1773, one of the important pre-Revolutionary War surveys of the region.
