Author: Zatta, Antonio
Description: Copper-engraved map, hand-colored in outline, colored pictorial cartouche. 30x41 cm. (12x16").Revolutionary War period map shows all of the British colonies, extending to include Nova Scotia, all of the Great Lakes and westward to present Texas. It is filled with early forts, Indian lands, watershed and limited topography. West of the Mississippi River is the large Louisiana (Luigiana) with the lower English Louisiana shown roughly in today's Mississippi. Florida is oversized and misshapen, extending to the northwest resulting in a small bean-shaped Georgia. In the Midwest is a huge region labeled Ohio Alta Luigiana Inglese that stretches from the Mississippi River to Virginia and Pennsylvania. One particularly interesting feature is the state/colony of Cherachesia (Cherokee nation), to the west of North Carolina, with the city of Cherakee, and the F. Cherakese flowing through it northwest to the Mississippi
