Description

A marvelous map of Colonial America, covering most of Florida, west to Natchitoches and the Arkansas River, north along the Mississippi River to the Fort de Chartes area and then east along the Ohio River, extneing to include all of Virginia, the Chesapeake and most of Maryland. While the map is derivative of the work of D'Anville, it is uniquely Santini's configuration. The map shows Indian Tribes, mountains, rivers, towns, forts and a host of other eraly information. One of the best large format atlas maps produced on the eve of the American Revolution and a map that rarely appears on the market.
