Abstract |
This map shows the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia and parts of the surrounding states. A decorative gold border displaying an eagle at the top and the shield of the United States at the bottom surrounds the map. State boundaries are delineated and outlined in pink. The counties of the three states are both delineated and named and colored in shades of green, pink, and yellow. Courses of rivers and streams are indicated, and other topographical features include mountain ranges, swamps, and sounds, bays, and other large bodies of water. Relief shown pictorially. Stage and "common" roads are depicted with the distances from place to place noted. The path of the South Carolina Railroad from Charleston to Augusta is also shown. The locations of principal towns, county seats, and post offices are indicated. Tables of steamboat and stage routes for the three states and a map of the vicinity of Charleston are shown in insets. |
Bibliographic Note |
Although the map bears an 1835 copyright date, its situation date is somewhat confusing. Cherokee County, created in 1839, is delineated but not named. However, Davie County, formed in 1836, and Henderson County, formed in 1838, do not appear. |
