The counties of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia are both delineated and named on the map, and state and county boundaries are carelessly outlined with color. Relief shown pictorially. The locations of county towns and courthouses are shown. The northwest corner of Georgia extends beyond the neatline, and North Carolina's boundary with Tennessee is not accurately surveyed. Explanations for symbols used to indicate finished, chartered, and proposed railroads and canals are given in a legend found in the lower right hand corner beneath the title; but the map is in error in showing a completed line of the Cape Fear Railroad running from Wilmington to Fayetteville. Proposed railroads include the Raleigh & Newburn and the Cape Fear & Yadkin Railroad. Mountains, swamplands, and rivers and bodies of water are indicated topographically. Longitude is measured from both Greenwich and Washington.
This is plate 8 from: Bradford, Thomas Gamaliel. The Atlas Designed to Illustrate the Abridgement of Universal Geography, Modern & Ancient and/or A Comprehensive Atlas Geographical, Historical, & Commercial, 1835.
