Hand colored manuscript, mounted. This map was prepared by Lucy Worth Jackson from information contained in Chatham County deed book A-S, page 552 and A-T, page 620. A manuscript notation in the lower left of the map below the title states "A vein averaging about 3 feet of which 12 inches is brown ore. 3 shafts sunk from 50 to 60 ft. and below water level, & Tunnels between them over 300 feet in length." The map portrays an area along Cane Creek in Chatham County and shows the locations of veins of gold ore and mine shafts along the veins. Individual tracts of land are platted and their metes and bounds are recorded on the map.
