An early representation of North Carolina. The map, published in 1709, shows the coast and the Outer Banks, and includes the names of the major inlets and rivers. The western part of the state is represented by open space dotted with tree and mountain icons, and labeled with vague designations such as “Rich Land,” “Iron Mines,” and “Indian Hutts.”
