This is a pen and ink on paper manuscript map of North Carolina having a situation date of 1841. It appears to be one of a pair prepared by Robert Cochran for the use of the General Assembly, possibly for revenue projections. The counties in existence in 1841 are both delineated and named and what is probably the total number of taxables and the value of taxable property for each county is noted on the map within the boundaries of each county. Albemarle, Croatan, and Pamlico sounds are named and the relative locations of New Inlet, Cape Hatteras, Ocracoke Inlet, Cape Lookout, and Cape Fear are noted. No other geographical or topographical features are shown. The word Senate is written and underlined in the upper left hand corner of the map.
