One of the most highly sought after maps of Georgia is this 1748 map of Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas and Louisiana which appeared in John Harris' Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca, or Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels, first published in London in 1705. The map of Georgia first appeared in the 1744-48 and 1764 editions, when a new chapter was added, giving a history of Georgia.The map covers the region from Charleston to the Mississippi River. Cumming, The Southeast in Early Maps, notes that it is one of the best large format maps of the region during the period, showing coastal settlements in South Carolina, the Indian Tribes friendly or hostile to the English, and the chief trading paths of the period. Indian territories are shown by fine dotted lines. The Georgia roads and settlements are particularly complete. Excellent detail along the Flint River. An essential map for collectors of maps of Georgia, the South and the Southeast. Included is the original text describing Georgia which is rarely ever present with the map.
