PREFACE
This catalog contains a list of pre-nineteenth century maps located in the historical map file of the Georgia Surveyor General Department of the Office of the Secretary of State. This catalog was compiled in order to acquaint scholars, students, and map enthusiasts with the map collection in this department. A number of individuals who have contributed directly and indirectly to the production of this catalog deserve recognition.
Our department owes a special debt to Mr. Ben W. Fortson, Jr., Secretary of State of Georgia, who has encouraged and supported the publication of descriptive inventories and the ENGLISH CROWN GRANT series. He has personally donated both maps and books to our collection. More importantly, Mr. Fortson's concept of public service and his respect for the historical value of Georgia's public records has led him to authorize the dissemination of the publications of this department without cost to libraries, private citizens, scholars, and students.
To Mrs. Pat Bryant, Deputy Surveyor General of Georgia, lowe a personal debt of gratitude. Her painstaking efforts in setting up the original map card catalog and map file has made our collection readily accessible and easily serviced. Mrs. Bryant conceived the original idea for this catalog. She has encouraged my efforts, allowed me the freedom to develop the catlaog system used in this list, and given much needed advice. Mr. Marion R. Hemperley of the Surveyor General Department has aided me immeasurably in providing information on early roads, trails, and forts, which has helped in identifying and dating unknown maps, as well as producing a number of maps illustrating these subjects.
Dr. Louis De Vorsey, Jr., of the Geography Department of the University of Georgia, provided invaluable assistance in furnishing a basic bibliography of books and periodicals used in identifying maps. He has obtained copies of a number of maps found only in Britain and has given these copies to oar department. Dr. De Vorsey has been instrumental in introducing our department and its holdings to other scholars and to his students, several of whom have completed their dissertations from our records. For this introduction we are deeply grateful.
Dr. John W. Reps, of Cornell University, has most generously presented us with copies of those maps relating to Georgia which have been published by Historic Urban Plans. My personal gratitude is extended to Dr. Reps for taking time from a very tight schedule in Atlanta to criticize the rough draft of this catalog.
My special thanks go to Dr. Joseph O. Baylen, Chairman of the Department of Histroy at Georgia State University, and to Mr. Edwin
ix
C. Bridges, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Chicago, for their generosity in editing and correcting the introduction to this catalog, as well as for their encouragement.
The Georgia Department of Archives and History, of the Office of the Secretary of State, has donated maps and acquired copies of maps which have enriched our collection. Certain Archives staff members deserve special thanks. Mr. Jack L. Costley has made many excellent reproductions of maps loaned to us, despite short notice and a heavy work load. Mr. Peter E. Schinkel, head of the Manuscripts Section, has deposited a number of maps which have added immeasurably to our files. Mr. Schinkel, Mr. Rolf H. Suter, Mr. Dean A. Evans, and Mr. Robert E. White, Jr. have aided in translating map titles in Swiss, German, and Spanish. Miss Ruth Corry has donated a number of fine reproductions to our collection. Special thanks are due to Mr. Frank S. Cook for designing the cover for this catalog.
We also extend the thanks of the department to the family of the late Ivan Allen Sr., to the late Dr. John H. Goff, and to the many other generous individuals who have given us maps.
The final responsibility for the form and the material included in this catalog is mine. Despite the help of several professionals in the field of cartographic studies, inaccuracies in this catalog are inevitable and are my responsibility. Any information which will enable me to correct an error is welcome. Copies of maps described in this catalog can be obtained, unless otherwise stated in the description, from the Surveyor General Department. Requests for copies and information should be addressed to me at the Surveyor General Department, Office of the Secretary of State, Atlanta, Georgia 30334.

THE SURVEYOR GENERAL OF GEORGIA
An Introduction and History
One of the primary purposes for establishing the colony of Georgia was to create a buffer settlement to protect South Carolina from the threat of the Spanish in Florida and from the neighboring Indian tribes allied with the Spanish. Control of the region lying between the Savannah and the St. Johns rivers had been disputed by England and Spain for over a century prior to the founding of Georgia. England claimed territory extending as far south as St. Augustine and Spain a region extending as far north as the Edisto River in South Carolina. Establishing a colony south of the Savannah River would serve to strengthen England's claim to the disputed region.
Two additional justifications, based not on military strategy, but on philanthropic ideals and mercantilist economic theories, were advanced in support of the proposed colony. The philanthropists looked upon the colony as a refuge for Englishmen who had no hope of success in England. The mercantilists viewed the proposed colony as a potential source of raw material needed in England, but which at that time had to be purchased from foreign nations at considerable expense. These three objectives for establishing the Georgia colony attracted support from government officials and private citizens.
In 1732, a group of twenty-one prominent Englishmen obtained a grant to a tract of land south of the Savannah River for the purpose of founding the colony of Georgia. To insure the success of the proposed colony, one of the twenty-one Trustees, James Oglethorpe, accompanied the first group of settlers to Georgia. The men and women who applied to become colonists were investigated carefully, since the Trustees provided each settler with free passage to Georgia, tools, agricultural implements, seeds, provisions sufficient until the first harvest, and fifty acres of land.
Oglethorpe and the first party of colonists arrived in Beaufort, South Carolina, in January 1733. Leaving the colonists in Beaufort, Oglethorpe and a party containing William Bull of South Carolina sailed up the Savannah River in search of possible locations for a settlement. Ten miles from the mouth of the river, he located a promising situation on a bluff overlooking an island later named Hutchinson's Island. After concluding an agreement with the Creeks for possession of the bluff site, Oglethorpe returned to South Carolina to pick up the colonists. On February 12, 1733, Oglethorpe and the colonists disembarked at the Savannah River tract, thus marking the beginning of the Georgia colony.l
Although Oglethorpe himself laid out the original town, the surveying of Savannah's garden, farm, trust, and town lots, as well as
xi
the tracts of land outside the town, required the services of a public surveyor. As early as July 1734, Noble Jones was mentioned as the surveyor receiving instructions from the Trustees 2 and in 1735 was described as lithe pUblick Surveyor appointed by Mr. Oglethorpe." 3 The appointment of the public surveyor was the genesis of the Georgia Surveyor General Department. The duties of the public surveyor during the early years of the colony included the physical survey of tracts of land, marking bounds, preparing plat maps of each tract with the type of land and water courses noted, and keeping records of the completed surveys.
Since land was the basic form of wealth in this period, surveying tracts of land and keeping accurate records of those surveys was of profound importance. After serving more than four years, the first recorded public surveyor, Noble Jones, was discharged in October 1738,4 having failed to make the requested surveys and to keep accurate records of completed surveys.5 Joseph Avery became the second public surveyor in 1742.6 Avery1s concept of the duties of his office was more extensive than that of Noble Jones. Avery cons i dered himself "a Surveyor and Inspector of the Colony" charged with the responsibility to "rece ive Claims Warrants for Running Land" and to "Give plots and Grants Annex'd," as well as inspecting plantation improvements "and others things wanted to be look1d into in the Colony and keep Journa1s there off. "7
Avery1s intention of surveying the designated tracts of land and issuing the grants for those tracts aroused some controversy and led to a statement of policy which would be adhered to strictly for over a century. The Trustees had previously appointed John Dobell the Register of grants, and despite Avery1s objections, it was decided that no one individual should execute both the duties of the surveyor and of the recorder of grants since lithe said Offices are checks on each other. 1I8 The land surveyor was to receive his instructions from the President and Assistants, the basic governing body in the colony under the Trusteeship. He was to survey land as directed by warrants issued by the President and Assistants, make plats for the recorder of grants, and keep a book of duplicate plats for the President and Assistants.
Avery died in October 1744, and the President and Assistants reccommended Thomas Ellis to fill the vacancy. The Board further suggested that the new surveyor receive no salary, "Which Method will most probably keep him steady in his Duty, He not being entitled to any Wages til it appears he has done his Work to the satisfaction of those from whom he is to receive his Pay.1I 9 Ellis received formal appointment from the Trustees as "Surveyor for the Province of Georgia" in November 1745. 10
By 1749, the duties of the Surveyor had expanded to such an extent that the President and Assistants appointed Ellis and Henry Yonge
xii
as joint Surveyors. ll The appointment was confirmed by the Trustees in January 1752. 12 Despite this joint appointment, it became necessary to appoint a surveyor for Augusta and the surrounding districts in February 1751 due to the distance between Augusta and the office of the surveyors in Savannah.13
Nearly three years later, on December 20, 1754, the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations appointed Yonge and John William Gerar De Brahm "Joint Surveyors of Land in Georgia. 1I14 De Brahm produced a number of exceptionally fine maps of Georgia both before and after his appointment. These maps were among the first of the colony to be based on actual surveys. Yonge and De Brahm served as joint Surveyors of Land in Georgia until November 1764, when King George III appointed De Brahm Surveyor General of the Southern District of North America. 15 At the same time, Yonge received the appointment as Sur,veyor General of Georgia, marking the first occasion on which the title Surveyor General was used in the official appointment. 16
During the decade Yonge and De Brahm served as joint Surveyors of Land in Georgia, the office of the Surveyors General became the authorized depository for plats of survey and town plans. Under the Trustees, the public surveyor had been required to keep records of completed surveys. However, these records tended to be regarded as the personal property of the surveyor, rather than as public records. In 1755, Yonge and De Brahm sought the support of the Governor and Council in obtaining copies of plats made by former public surveyors. The Governor and Council instructed former surveyors to deposit copies of plats of townships, villages, and lands surveyed under the Trustees in the office of the Surveyors General who then inspected, certified, and recorded these plats. 17
De Brahm's appointment as Surveyor General of the Southern District of North America in 1764 left Henry Yonge, as Surveyor General, heavily dependent on the field work of the deputy surveyors. Although these deputies made numerous surveys in the colony, the Surveyor General had no regulatory powers over their work, and fraudulent surveys were not uncommon. In 1765, Yonge brought to the attention of the Governor and Council the prevalence of fraudulent surveys of river front property.18 Shortly thereafter, Yonge discovered cases of fraudulent surveys of a different type. Deputy surveyors were depositing plats which depicted accurately the acreage called for on the warrant. However, the tract as laid out and marked on the ground contained more acreage than the warrant authorized or was shown on the plat. 19 Yonge promptly submitted to the Governor and Council a set of instructions for the regulation of the deputy surveyors.
With the approval of the Governor and Council, Yonge instituted eleven guidelines designed to regulate the deputy surveyor's performance of official duties. Deputy surveyors were instructed to keep field note books and plats which contained specific information
xiii
regarding the name of the individual for whom the survey was made, the date of the warrant authorizing the survey, and the date of the survey itself. Surveys were not to be made until all chain carriers were sworn. Deputy surveyors were cautioned not to survey land without a precept nor to execute a warrant which was out of date. Specific instructions were given as to the proper forms in marking lines, the amount of river frontage allowed for each tract, the natural features to be noted on the plat, and the form and time allotted for filing plats in the Surveyor General's office. 20
Yonge's supervisory duties increased when an additional regulation was approved by the Governor and Council in March 1765. To insure "faithful and honest performance of office," deputy surveyors were required to post a 200 bond. Half of this bond became liable to forfeiture if a fraudulent survey was discovered. 21 As the deputy surveyors increasingly assumed the responsibility for field work, the Surveyor General's office became the official depository for the plats of survey. In 1771, a schedule of fees for services performed by the Surveyor General and the deputy surveyor was published. This schedule reveals the active functions of each office. Of eleven duties for which the Surveyor General might charge a fee, nine dealt with such paper work as making copies of plats, certifications, precepts, and warrants. Yet of the eleven categories of service for which a deputy surveyor might charge a fee, only one dealt with paper work. 22
Although the office of the Surveyor General had become the official depository for plats of survey, these plats apparently were never used to prepare a general map of the colony delineating granted and ungranted lands. Such a map had been considered in 1755, but never begun. 23 Georgia acquired additional territory in 1763 when the Creek boundary line was described at the Southern Indian District Congress held in Augusta. This line extended from the Little River in the north to the St. Marys River in the south and was surveyed and marked by Samuel Savery in the summer of 1768. The Creeks ratified Savery's survey in November 1768.24 However, no general survey of this newly acquired territory was made or contemplated. The land was offered to settlers in the customary manner under the provisions of the headright system.
The Creek and the Cherokee nations ceded two additional tracts of land to King George III in 1773. The northern cession, known as the "Ceded Lands,1I was described as lying lion the River Savannah above Little River, and extending up Savannah River above Broad River and cross the Country towards the Oconnee River. 1I25 The southern tract, lying between the Ogeechee and the A1tamaha rivers, was considered less valuable for agricultural purposes and was distributed under the existing headright system. However, after absorbing Governor James Wright's highly favorable description of the fertility of the Ceded Lands, the London government suggested anew system of distribution for the northern portion of the cession. Under this proposed
xiv
system, the Ceded Lands would be surveyed and 1I1 aid out into Allotments, and . . . the Choice of Situation be determined by Ballot. "26
Wright agreed that such a survey would facilitate the determination of the purchase price for tracts of land. He appointed surveyors to layout tracts ranging from 100 to 1000 acres. 27 However, this ambitious project, never seriously attempted, was abandoned in 1774. The venture had proved to be prohibitively expensive. In correspondence with his superiors in London, Wright also noted that prospective settlers objected to the new system, being "so fond of choosing (as they call it) for themselves. II Settlers were finally permitted to select their own tracts and to pay a surveyor to layout the approved acreage. A court of land commissioners appointed by Governor Wright determined the price of each tract based on its qual ity.28
The proposed general survey of the Ceded Lands apparently reawakened the interest of the Colonial Office with regard to the vacant land remaining in the older parishes of the colony. In the opinion of the London government, settling and improving this vacant land would be advantageous to the IIpublic Interest and Welfare. 1I Consequently, Governor Wright was instructed to have surveys made of all the ungranted land in the colony. These surveys were to be conducted in the same manner as had been ordered for the Ceded Lands. Vacant land would be surveyed into districts and each district subdivided into tracts ranging between 100 and 1000 acres in size. The surveyor was required to furnish a map of each district on which each numbered tract was located. After the surveys were completed, the Surveyor General was instructed to compile a report in which the nature and quality of each surveyed tract was described. 29
The Surveyor General, Henry Yonge, immediately informed Governor Wright and the Council that lIalmost insuperable difficulties" would arise in attempting to carry out the instructions of the London government. A general survey of the entire province would be necessary in order to distinguish granted from vacant land. Yonge was doubtful that, of the vacant land suitable for agricultural purposes, a single tract containing 5000 acres could be found. On the contrary, he was convinced that tracts of vacant land would range between 100 and 1000 acres in size and would be scattered over the entire province. The report describing the nature and the quality of each tract would also create a hardship on the Surveyor General. Yonge declared that the deputy surveyors were neither experienced in judging the quality of land nor competent in selecting land to be set aside for public use. Consequently, these duties would devolve upon the Surveyor General. After considering Yonge's objections, the Governor and Council agreed that such a survey would be impossible. 30
Wright forwarded Yonge's objections to the Colonial Office, fully aware that it was highly unlikely that the Royal government would
xv
alter its instructions. Indeed, the reply which Wright received concluded with the statement from Lord Dartmouth that he was certain that Wright would not be discouraged from carrying out the King's instructions IIby trifling local Inconveniences. 1I31 Wright pointed out in October 1774 that he had no funds from which he could IIPay a Shilling towards the Expence of Making Maps or Surveys,1I and noted that there was really nothing further he could do. 32 The plan apparently was abandoned in view of the growing breach between the colonies and the English government.
During the Revolutionary War, Georgia had both a colonial and a state government, each of which appointed a Surveyor General. Between October 1774 and March 1779, Philip Yonge became England's Surveyor General in Georgia,33 an office which he held until his death in January 1782. George McKenzie replaced Yonge during the same month34 and remained in office until the British evacuated Savannah in July 1782, earning the distinction of having been the last British Surveyor General of Georgia. 35 The rebel state government also filled the office of Surveyor General. Thomas Chisholm qualified as Surveyor General for the State of Georgia on February 9, 1778, after having been elected to the position by the Executive Council on May 22,1777. 36 Chisholm was succeeded by Richard Can, who was appointed in October 178237 and served until February 1786.38
Since no grants were recorded between 1775 and 1783, it seems doubtful that either the British or the State Surveyor General executed warrants of survey during the Revolutionary War. Those surveys recorded before the war remained in the Surveyor General's office in Savannah. During the turmoil brought about by the alternate British and American occupation of Savannah, the recorded surveys were partially destroyed. An inventory of the records maintained in the Surveyor General's office in 1799 revealed that at least four colonial plat books (A, B, C, and D) had existed prior to the war. These plat books contained the record copies of surveys made prior to 1775. Of the four plat books, only the damaged Book C remains extant. A few scattered pages, apparently from the missing books, also survived. 39 A number of colonial plats were re-recorded after the Revolution, and the recorded plat books are complete from 1783. The colonial grant books survived the Revolution intact and were absorbed into the state grant records administered by the Secretary of State.
The position of Surveyor General was not mentioned specifically in either the 1777 or the 1789 state constitution. 40 However, the office of Surveyor General continued in existance, being held successively by Thomas Chisholm, Richard Call, and Thomas McCall. A number of acts establishing the qualifications and conditions under Which land would be granted were enacted by the state legislature between 1777 and 1798. The legislative act assented to September 16, 1777, contains the first reference to the Surveyor General made in state laws. Under the provisions of this act, legally made surveys
xvi
were required by law to be recorded in the office of the Surveyor General. 41
Although the office of Surveyor General was mentioned in this 1777 act, the state legislature did not establish the office officially until 1783. In an act approved February 17 of that year, the legislature declared that there would be a Surveyor General for the state and a surveyor for each county elected annually by the legislature. This act further described the duties to be discharged by the county surveyors, whose primary duty was to make the field surveys of land to be granted. They were directed to forward copies of the plats of survey, along with the warrant authorizing the survey, to the Surveyor Generalis office, where they were filed and a copy of the plat recorded. 42 As in the case of the deputy surveyor under the English crown, the county surveyor was required to carry out the instructions of the Surveyor General. 43 The state constitution of 1798 provided for a Surveyor General, elected by the General Assembly, to hold office for a period of two years.4~
During the period in which the office of Surveyor General was established officially, a massive series of land frauds, known collectively as the pine barren speculations, occurred in Georgia. Unlike the Yazoo Frauds, which concerned Georgia's unorganized western territories, the pine barren speculations dealt with land in the partially settled and legally organized counties of the state. Title to millions of nonexistant pine barren lands was awarded to individuals and companies based for the most part outside Georgia. State officials, including the Governor, the Surveyor General, the county surveyors, and the General Assembly, as well as much of the general public, were aware that fraudulent grants to nonexistant lands were being made. 45 Under the headright system of land distribution, an individual could petition for 200 acres on the right of his own head and 50 acres on the head of each dependent, including slaves, provided that the total grant did not exceed 1000 acres. 46 This 1000 acre limit was respected in single grants, but multiple 1000 acre tracts were granted to one individual without any attempt at concealment.
In response to the widely publicized pine barren speculations and the continuing Yazoo controversy, a new system of land distribution was adopted for future acquisitions. The state legislature approved an act May 11, 1803, establishing a land lottery to distribute the land acquired in the 1802 Creek cession. In the mechanics of conducting the surveys preliminary to the lottery, a number of additional duties devolved upon the Surveyor General. The act of 1803 directed that the new territory be divided into counties. The Surveyor General or surveyors appointed by him were required to mark these county lines and to subdivide each county into districts approximately equal in size. District surveyors, appointed by the legislature, subdivided the districts into square lots or tracts. To insure the competency and honesty of the district surveyors, the legislature required that each post bond and security.47
xvii
The manner in which the surveys were to be carried out was also specified in the 1803 act. District surveyors were instructed to mark trees or stakes on the surveyed line in the manner determined by the Surveyor General and to note in field note books water courses, the type of tree or stake marked, and distances run between each station. Transcripts of the field note books were to be examined by the Surveyor General before being deposited in his office. The district surveyor was also directed to produce a map of his district "in which shall be correctly delineated, represented and numbered, in such order as the Surveyor General shall prescribe, all the surveys within such district. II In addition, a "detached plat" of each lot within the district, certified and signed, was to be deposited in the Surveyor General's office. This 1803 act not only specified the qualifications for those entitled to participate in the lottery and the manner in which those qualifications were ascertained, but also established the form which the lottery was to take and the procedures for managing the 10ttery.48
The basic duties and responsibilities of the Surveyor General and of the district surveyors outlined in the 1803 legislation remained virtually unchanged in successive lotteries held in 1807, 1820, 1821, 1827, and 1832. 49 Supplemental legislation relating to the public sale of fractional lots required the Surveyor General to provide copies of the plat maps of those lots and to compile lists of lots as ordered. However, the responsibilities of the office of Surveyor General were not described specifically until the first state code was adopted in 1860. These responsibilities were described as follows:
1. To keep safely all the records of plats of land granted, and to report the condition of such records to the Governor at least once a year.
2. To record all plats of land legally authenticated and returned to him by the several County Surveyors, or other Surveyors, acting by authority for which grants are sought, and to furnish the originals thereof to the Secretary of State, to be attached to the grants.
3. To keep in his office correct maps of all the different surveys (made by State authority) and of those comprising the land lotteries, their divisions into numbers, districts, sections and the like, having for ever district a separate map.
4. To keep a register of the various grantees thereto, and the dates of the grants.
5. To keep correct maps of all surveys of rivers, harbors, swamps or land, made by the special direction of the General Assembly.
xviii
6. He shall, when necessary contract for the execution of new maps, or the re-execution of, or repairs
of old maps subject to the ratification of the Gener-
al Assembly.
7. He must certify under his official seal, as the Comptroller General is directed in Section 102. 50
By 1861, however, many of the active responsibilities assigned
to the Surveyor General in the code had been fulfilled. Most of the
state's public domain had been distributed, with the exception of isolated tracts in the headright counties and a small number of re-
verted and fractional lots in the land lottery counties. Indeed, the Surveyor General's office had become a depository of the state's plat
and map records. The Surveyor General was no longer called upon to
take part in public surveys or land distribution. Although the Constitution of 1861 provided for a Secretary of State, a Comptroller
General, a Treasurer, and a Surveyor General elected by the General
Assembly, this same provision authorized the General Assembly to con-
solidate any two of these offices and to require the duties of each to be performed by one officer. 51
In an act passed on November 22,1861, the General Assembly con-
solidated the offices of the Secretary of State and of the Surveyor
General. The Secretary of State now became the legal custodian for
the plat books, records, and maps filed in the office of the Surveyor
General, and his signature on records issued by the Surveyor General
Department was validity as if
held said
to lI en tit1e offices had
said paper to the same credit and not been conso1idated. 1I52 Another
act consolidating the two offices was passed December 15, 1865, which
required the Secretary of State to carry out the duties of both offices. 53 This consolidation of the offices united the two major rec-
ord groups dealing with the distribution of the public domain of
Georgia which had been separated since the colonial period. While
the Surveyor General's office contained all the extant records relat-
ing to the surveys made of the public domain, the Secretary of State
had custody of the state's record copy of land grants signed by the
governor. All the grants issued by the English crown from 1755 to
1775 had also been deposited in the Secretary of State's office.
Grants and surveys continued to be made under the headright laws, and
grants were issued for sales of ungranted lottery lots. Both the
surveys and the grants were recorded in the Surveyor General Depart-
ment until the laws relating to the granting of land under the head-
right system were repealed August 13, 1909.54
The repeal of the grants laws in 1909 marked an end to additions to the record groups maintained in the joint office of Secretary of State and Surveyor General dealing with the surveying and granting of the state's public domain. The Surveyor General Department shifted its emphasis from recording survey plats to servicing these
xix
records to the general public, state agencies, and more extensively, to lawyers, land surveyors, and researchers. Similarly, the Department maintained the district plat maps and the field note books for the land lottery counties as required by the state code. The 1863 and the 1933 codes also directed the Surveyor General to keep II correct maps of all surveys of rivers, harbors, swamps or land" and IIwhen necessary, contract for the execution of new maps, or the reexecution of, or repair of, old maps. 1156 These official maps became
the nucleus of the map collections maintained by the Surveyor General Department.
The Surveyor General of Georgia had, since the colonial period,
executed maps of the state or portions thereof under the direction
of the government. Thus, the joint Surveyors General, Henry Yonge
and William Gerar De Brahm, of the Sea Coast of Georgia
produced a map in & the inland parts

Daniel Sturges, who served as Surveyor General from 1797 through
1809 and from 1817 through 1823,56 produced the first map of Georgia
made by the authority of the state. This map, published in 1818
and known also as the Eleazer Early map, was executed by Sturges for
Comptroller General Early. In an act passed in December 1866,
Nathan C. Barnett, the first joint Secretary of State and Surveyor
General, was authorized by the General Assembly to produce a set of
county maps showing streams, land lots, districts, and sections in
the lottery counties and streams, roads, and towns in the headright counties. 57 Finally, in 1961, as Secretary of State and Surveyor
General, Ben W. Fortson, Jr., authorized the production of a set of
aerial maps entitled IIMosaics of Georgia Coastal Area. 1I
In exercising the duties relating to the production and preser-
vation of maps, the Surveyor General Department today maintains an
extensive map collection which is comprised of five distinct map files. The county map file, arranged alphabetically, contains coun-
ty maps made by and for state agencies, as well as a variety of maps donated by local governments and private citizens. The official
district plat maps made of each land district in the original lot-
tery counties are maintained in a separate file. As a depository for U. S. Geological topographic maps of Georgia, the Department pre-
serves both current and noncurrent series of quadrangles. A private
collection donated by the late Dr. John H. Goff contains an extensive set of maps, primarily county highway maps, on which Dr. Goff located old roads, trails, ferries, and historical sites.
The historical map file is the most extensive of the map collections maintained by the department. Since 1959, this collection has
grown from 80 maps of all periods to a number in excess of 800 maps in the pre-twentieth century period. Maps in this file date from 1275 to the present and represent geographic regions as extensive as the world and as limited as towns. The majority of the maps in this file, however, relate to Georgia and the southern United States. The
xx
historical map file has grown by gift and, more rarely, by purchase and contains manuscripts, line engravings, photostats, facsimiles, and modern prints. Many of the manuscript maps in the files of the Surveyor General Department are official state documents found in no other collection. In order to make these maps available to researchers, the staff of the Surveyor General Department has prepared this catalog of maps of the pre-nineteenth century period. A catalog of nineteenth century maps is in preparation and a similar list of twentieth century maps is projected.

A blue line divides the Old World, with its drawings of buildings, cities, people, flags, and natural features, from the New World, which appears to be a green mass dotted with red semicircles and dark circles resembling eyes. This reproduction lacks a section along the bottom, as well as a section along the top border of the map. Five English standards appear along the large land mass (representing North America) in the "sea discovered by the English."

In the eastern hemisphere, the northern and eastern coasts of Asia appear as vague outlines, and the western half only of Australia is shown. Two inset maps dominate the bottom corners of the larger map. The Arctic region, with most northern continental limits rather vague, appears on the left. The Antarctic, blank save for the tip of South America, is shown on the right.
This beautifully decorated map is dominated by a drawing of the full sun in the top center, surrounded by birds and clouds. A harvest scene fills the bottom center of the map. From: Gifts of Miss Ruth Corry, Georgia Department of Archives

from Hudson Bay to the tip of the Florida peninsula and west into Texas. The Cape Hatteras area has been greatly exaggerated in an easterly direction. Chesapeake Bay has been lengthened and widened greatly from earlier representations, as have all the bays along the northeastern coast. Carolina is described as being formerly French Florida. The Florida peninsula bulges to the east at Cape Canaveral, and the coast line runs to the southwest in a sharply diagonal line to a point at the tip of the peninsula.
The mouth of the Mississippi River is shown on the Texas coast, while the river itself is shown far to the west of its actual location. Canada or New France begins at a point just north of the Gulf coast and covers all the continent with the exception of the English colonies and the Florida-Georgia area, where two large lakes appear.

DeScription: This map appears to be an enlarged reproduction of the map published in 1733 in Martyn's REASONS FOR ESTABLISHING THE COLONY OF GEORGIA which is described in item 69. Numerous omissions were made by the engraver. The errors, "tience" for "hence" for example, were due apparently to a lack of knowledge of English by the engraver. This copy shows the boundaries of Carolina and Georgia, Indian villages with the number of warriors available in each, rivers, and a "Road to Virginia." Very little detail is given.

resentation to the Board of Trade, dated the 25th. of May 1738. Recd. July ye 27th. 1738 [bottom left]. Form: Photostat.
Size: 32 1/2 x 26 1/2 in. (in four sheets). See: Cumming, THE SOUTHEAST IN EARLY MAPS, p. 207, no. 237. DeScription: This map covers southeastern North America from Albemarle Sound to the tip of Florida and west to the Mississippi River.
The manuscript is based on, or is a copy of, the c. 1722 Barnwell map. The southern half of Florida, shown as a group of islands, does not appear on Barnwell. This representation was drawn apparently from the Nairn inset on the 1711 Crisp map described in item 45. liThe Colony of Georgia" was substituted for the "Margravate of Azil i aII shown on Barnwe11 1 s map.
Many of the legends and names originally found on Barnwell IS map are omitted from Bullis map. Cumming contends that Bull did not make the copy himself. He bases this contention on the lack of new information on the map, since it is known that Bull helped Oglethorpe layout Savannah, but its location does not appear on this copy.

The map covers an area extending from Jamestown to the "Corretine R." in South America and appears to be a redrawn version with less detail of a portion of the 1733 Popple maps described in items 74 and 75. Legends describe sailing conditions to and from Jamaica, the establishment of the Carolina and Georgia boundaries, and the history of the ownership of islands.

by His Grace's most Humble and most Dutifull Servant. John Thomas, 1740 [top centerJ. Form: Photograph. Size: 9 1/4 x 6 1/2 in.
DeSCription: The original of this map was presented to the Fort Frederica National Monument, St. Simons Island, Georgia, by the Jekyll Island Club. Mrs. Margaret Davis Cate, Historical Collab-
orator of the National Park Service for the Fort Frederica Project, researched the background of the plan and of the following ten maps and plans (items 95 through 104).
Captain John Thomas, a French refugee and a retired Engineer in the British Army, was sent to Georgia in 1738 with his son to plan fortifications for St. Simons Island and the surrounding areas. He made elaborate plans and drawings for the fortifications, but died before returning to England.
Captain Thomas I son, also John, returned to England with the plans and drawings and presented them to the Trustees for the Georgia colony in 1740. The Trustees then commissioned the younger Thomas to draw a complete plan of the fortifications. The map here-
in described is that plan, which was completed in 1743. The plans drawn by Captain Thomas, described in items 95 through 104, are in the King George Ill's Topographical Collection in the British Museum.
This plan contains a map of St. Simons and Jekyll islands, four insets showing the IIEsplanadell of the fort, a IIPlan of the fort,1I a "Plan of a Battery and Redout,1I a closeup of a battery and redoubt, and several legends coding the layouts of the various plans. The photograph is excellent, although small. From: The Margaret Davis Cate Collection.

De Vorsey, "Eastern North America at the Time of the Revolution: A Collection of Eighteenth Century Maps," pp. 5-11. Description: The Mitchell map covers an area extending from Labrador to central Florida and west to central Texas. Cumming describes this map as basically political in nature, delineating boundaries for the political divisions in the colonies. Numerous legends note England's claims to territory west of the Appalachians. The map was begun in 1750 as a comprehensive map of North America to replace the outdated 1733 Popple map described in items 74 and 75. De Vorsey notes that the map was drawn for the purpose of dramatizing French encroachments to a relatively unawakened British public. Mitchell was given access to official reports and maps in the possession of the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations. The Commissioners also ordered colonial governors to submit maps of their territories to London for Mitchell's use in compiling the map. The Mitchell map was published in 1755 and became one of the most influential maps of the century. This map was chosen to be used in the settlement of the boundary line between the United States and the BritiSh possessions under the Treaty of Paris in 1783.

The Mitchell map covers an area extending from Labrador to central Florida and west into central Texas. An inset entitled "A New Map of Hudson's Bay and Labrador from the late Surveys of those Coasts" appears at the top left.

Form: Photostat. Size: 19 3/4 x 17 1/4 in. See: Phillips, ed., THE LOWERY COLLECTION, p. 261, no. 327. ~cription: In producing this map, Lotter reproduced a c. 1739 map drawn by Matthew Seutter. The area covered by Lotterls map extends from the Great Lakes to the northernmost tip of South America and west to a point slightly beyond the Rocky Mountains. Phillips notes that the original Seutter map was based on the 1722 revision of the 1703 Delisle map of southeastern North America. The 1703 and the 1722 Delisle are described in items 40 and 56 respectively.
The territory covered by Lotter1s map is virtually the same as covered by the 1703 Delisle. "Floride" designates the territory from Texas east to the English colonies and north to the Ohio River. "Canada sive Nova Francia" delineates the land to the north of the Ohio River. Large lakes appear in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. The Georgia colony was added in the southern extremity of Carolina.
Lotter's map contains five insets in the top right half of the map, titled as follows: "Bahia Portus Belli," "Tractus Bahia et Civitatis Havanae," "Tractus Civitatis Carthagena Castel ejus," and liLa Vera Cruz." Sea routes, European and Indian settlements,
69
and numerous legends are shown. A legible, although slightly unclear photostat. From: The Ivan Allen Collection.

DeSCription: This plat of survey of St. Catherines Island delineates the acreage, the shape, the streams and creeks, the marshes, and the adjacent mainland and rivers. One house is shown on the marsh side of the island. Much of the bottom right portion of the plat is missing. The island proper is shown, however, in its entirety. Some pieces along fold lines are missing also. The actual drawing is quite legible despite the missing portions. This survey was made prior to the grant of 6200 acres to Mary Bosomworth dated June 30,
1760.

Form: Original survey.
Size: 20 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. See: Candler, ed., THE COLONIAL RECORDS OF THE STATE OF GEORIGA, --- VIII, 84-88, 307-308, and 400.
Description: This plat of survey of Sapelo Island appears to be a revised version of the plat described in item 148, although somewhat smaller in size. In the cartouche, the island is called "Hosabaw." The name "Sappalo" appears on the island itself, however. "Tea Kettle" and "Black Beards" creeks are shown, as are "Black Beards Inlet" and that part of Sapelo known as Black Beards Island. Sapelo is divided into seventeen tracts, with the acreage given for each tract. Although the total acreage for "Hosabaw" or Sapelo is listed as 8510 acres in the cartouche, a computation of the acreages given for each tract totals 9510 acres.
The Governor and Council of the Georgia colony ordered Yonge and De Brahm, as the joint Surveyors General, to survey the islands of Ossabaw and Sapelo in July 1759, prior to their sale at auction. These islands had been claimed by Mary Bosomworth who, in return for surrendering this claim and in recompence for her services as an in-
terpreter, was to be granted St. Catherines Island (see item 147) and was to receive 2100 pounds sterling from the sale of Ossabaw and Sapelo islands. The Council directed that the islands be sold in tracts not exceeding 1000 acres. For this reason, the plat shows seventeen tracts on Sapelo. Grey Elliott offered 2100 pounds for the two islands in May of 1760. The Council did not accept the offer outright, however. It was decided subsequently that each island would be sold as a separate entity. Eventually Grey purchased Sapelo Island at public auction and received the grant October 31, 1760.

Form: Photostat. Size: 40 1/8 x 33 1/4 in. (in four sheets). DeSCription: In outline, this plat bears a close resemblance to those maps described in items 148 and 149. Information regarding the background of the grant and purchase is included in item 149. Sapelo Island is shown in much detail, as are the smaller islands forming a part of Sapelo. Seventeen numbered tracts, each noting the acreage within, are depicted. Numerous houses appear, while swamp regions and waterways are delineated in shading patterns. A legend at the right center describes the types of vegetation shown. The plat appears to be a finished version of the two plats described in items 148 and 149. The photostat is slightly out of focus but legible. A rectangular portion of the top right corner is missing, but the area appears to have been blank. The original of this plat in located in the Library of the University of Georgia, Athens.

Size: 22 x 19 in. oescrition: Two changes were made in this reprint of the Romans map. he plans of Charleston and St. Augustine were replaced by an inset map of Georgia and the following descriptive legend: "The settled portion of Georgia (from Abraham Bradley's 1796 map of the United States). In 1787 Georgia's counties, cities, villages, roads, etc., were more like the ones on this 1796 map than those on the large 1776 map." A second inset was inserted in the Gulf of Mexico which shows Georgia's boundary extending to the Mississippi River. The legend accompanying this inset reads as follows: "The correct southern boundary of Georgia in 1787; the Georgian origin of most of Alabama and Mississippi (from Bull. 817, U. S. Geol. Survey, 1930, page 155)." On each map, Georgia's boundaries are outlined in coral.
The following quotation appears in slightly varying form on many of the Sesquicentennial series of maps. The statement is quoted here to serve as a description of the origin and extent of the series. "This map is one of a series of similar colored maps, depicting the 13 original States from New Hampshire to Georgia at the time of the formation of the Constitution. There will be at least 18 maps in the series, including Maine, Kentucky, and Tennessee (former portions of Massachusetts, Virginia, and North Carolina, respectively), as well as two maps of the United States of that period.

Issued by the United States Constitution Sesquicentennial Commission [above neat line, center]. Reprinted 1938, By U. S. Geological Survey [below neat line, right]. Form: Sepia reproduction. Size: 16 x 18 1/2 in. DeSCription: The following explanation appears below the two insert maps to the left of "Mr. Jay's Map": "In 1787-88 Massachusetts still possessed and governed its detached District of Maine. The large map on the right, made by Dr. John Mitchell of Virginia, published at London in 1755, frequently reprinted from that year to 1783, is here reproduced from the 1843 facsimile of a portion of John Jay's copy of the 1st impression of the 3rd English edition. Jay, as one of the four American peace commissioners at Paris, drew upon the Mitchell map on Oct. 8, 1782, the original United States boundary designated as 'Mr. Oswald's Line.' PRESIDENT JOHN TYLER owned the particular map here reproduced . . . .
"Osgood Carlton of Massachusetts made the larger of the two insert-maps [top left 7 3/4 x 9 3/4 in.], Amos Doolittle of Connecticut engraved it, and the map was published at Boston, Massachusetts, in 1795. In 1788, counties, cities, villages, and highways in the District of Maine were doubtless more like those upon Carlton's map than those upon Jay's.
"William McMurry, Assistant Geographer of the United States, published at Philadelphia in 1784 the large map of the whole United States from which the smaller [lower left, 5 x 4 5/8 in.] of the two insert-maps upon this sheet was reduced. The relative sizes and positions of Massachusetts and the District of Maine are shown on McMurry's map, and the true form and present boundaries of the State of Maine are represented upon the tiny modern map introduced near the west border of Carleton's map."
The inset maps described above are barely legible due to reduction. The boundaries of Maine are outlined or shaded on each map in coral. The "Jay Map" delineates rivers, lakes, falls, bays, coastal features, forts, and Indian and European settlements. The map covers an area from the mouth of the St. Lawrence River west into New Hampshire and south almost to Massachusetts. A rather poor copy. See item 207 for a description of the Sesquicentennial series of maps. From: Gift of Mrs. John Harper, Atlanta, Georgia.

Description: Although published in 1783 as a memorial to Nolin,
this map bears a closer resemblance to the 1750 Robert de Vaugondy
map described in item 122 than to maps of the 1783 period in geo-
graphic knowledge. The Nolin map delineates an area extending from
Cape Charles, Virginia, south to Cape Canaveral, Florida, and west
to the Mississippi delta. IIFloride ll designates the peninsula and a
triangle of land whose apex lies in north Georgia and which broadens
at the base to include what is now north Florida. The area north of
Tennessee is designated IICaroline,1I while IIGeorgie ll refers to a nar-
row strip of land along the present coast and up the Savannah River.
The map appears to have been colored in the original, causing some
loss of clarity in the photostat.

Description: The booklet cited above describes this edition of the
Buell map in the following manner: liThe exact facsimile of the copy
belonging to The New Jersey Historical Society is printed on four
sheets by collotype on heavy weight Ivory Arches rag paper manufac-
tured in France. A limited edition of two hundred fifty copies has
been hand colored identically with the origina1. 11 This copy is ex-
ceptionally fine, being very legible. State boundaries, English
territory, the U.S.-Canadian boundary, and the cartouche decorations
are beautifully hand colored in pastels.
This map delineates an area extending from the mouth of the St.
Lawrence River south to a point midway down the Florida peninsula
and from Cape Breton Island west to White Bear Lake, Minnesota. The
western territories of the original thirteen states are depicted, as
are their boundaries, and the boundaries of the United States. The
IIBounds of Hudsons Bay by the treaty of Utrecht II are shown also.
Indian territories, towns, some counties in the northeast, mountains,
121
rivers, islands, and other coastal features are given. The quality of the land in the western territories is described. Details for the southern colonies, especially Georgia, are sparce.
The New Jersey Historical Society article notes that the Buell map was the first map of the United States made by an American. The map was compiled from three basic sources: John Mitchell's "A Map of the British and French Dominions in North America," published in 1755 and described in item 132; Lewis Evans' "A General Map of the Middle British Colonies," also published in 1755; and Thomas Hutchins' "A New Map of the Western Parts of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and North Carolina," published in 1788.

esty [lower right]. Engrav'd for Baldwin['s] New Complete &Univer-
sal System of Geography [above neat line, center]. Form: Photostat. Size: 14 5/8 x 13 3/8 in. See: Lister, HOW TO IDENTIFY OLD MAPS AND GLOBES, pp. 186-187. DeScription: The circa date given this map is based on the date of Thomas Kitchin's death. No other verification for this date has been found, beyond the fact that the subject matter makes it necessarily of the post-Revolutionary period. The map delineates an area extending from James Bay to the tip of the Florida peninsula, shown (in an inset at bottom center) as a group of islands, and west to Lake of the Woods. The 1783 treaty boundary is shown, as are state boundaries. The western boundaries of the states, however, are not delineated. American, English, and Indian towns, Indian territories, rivers, mountain$, rapids, lakes, islands, and other coastal features
are shown. An excellent copy. From: The Ivan Allen Collection.
250. WILLIAM MCMURRY
[1784]
The United States According to the Definitive Treat[y] of Peace Signed at Paris, Septr, 3d. 1783. In forming this Map, late Partic-
ular Maps &Charts, were of great use; but what contributed most to
its accuracy, were the unpublished Surveys, co[n]sisting of many thousands of Miles, forming a connection thro' the whole (except what lies N. W. of the double dotted line:) which Surveys with many good Sketches, have been furnished for [t]his usefu11 work, by the Geogrs. and other curious Gentlemen, who for particular purposes, hEad] made large collections of them. This Map may therefore be said, to [b]e composed from every Survey, and Sketch of Note, heretofore made in these Limits, conformed [to] the best Astronomical Observations, By Wm. McMurry, late Asst. Geogr. to the U. S. [top center]. R. Scot Sculp. [bottom right]. Form: Photostat. Size: 30 1/4 x 20 3/4 in. (in two sheets). See: Phillips, A LIST OF MAPS OF AMERICA, p. 864. Description: The McMurry map extends from Cape Breton Island west
124
to Lake of the Woods and south to the St. Marys River in Georgia. An inset at bottom right, entitled liN. America ll delineates the continent from Baffin Bay south to the tip of Florida (shown as a group of islands) and the west coast north to what is now Washington state. Only the areas outside the boundaries of the United States contain geographical or political notations, and these are limited to denoting the larger rivers, the boundaries of English and Spanish territories, lakes, mountains, and a few settlements. A legend at left center reads as follows: liThe lines Singly coloured N. W. of the Ohio, are the divisions of that Country into Ten New States, by a Resolve of Congress of April 23d. 1784. 11
The map of the United States details the boundaries of the states (excluding those in the west), settlements, towns, rivers, creeks, mountains, salt springs, swamps, mines, lakes, islands, and other coastal features. State boundaries appear to have been colored in the original located in the Library of Congress. The right sheet appears to be slightly clearer than the left, although both sheets are legible.

In addition to those areas enumerated in the title, Bowen's map shows Indian territories and towns, some state boundaries, towns, rivers, islands, lakes, falls, forts, swamps, mountains, and coastal features. Both lake shores and ocean coast lines appear to have been colored in the original, and names along these coasts are rather difficult to read. Otherwise, an excellent copy. From: The Ivan Allen Collection.
256. [GEORGIA COAST]
MS [c. 1787]
[The Islands and the Coast of Georgia from St. Simons Island to the St. Marys River]. Form: Photostat. Size: 53 1/2 x 32 1/2 in. (in six sheets).

The Virginia boundary is shown in green. Reduction has made parts of the map difficult to read. A handwritten note at bottom right reads as follows: "[Thomas Jefferson's Map First Edition, 1787]."
Two insert maps along the bottom margin are described as follows: "In 1787 Virginia included Kentucky as well as West Virginia. All of the 'Territory northwest of the Ohio River l had become the property of the United States by cessions of New York in 1782, Virginia in 1784, Massachusetts in 1785, and Connecticut in 1786. This small map [5 x 3 1/4 in.] is taken from Bull. 817, U.S. Geological Survey, 1930, p. 140. The large map by Thomas Jefferson was compiled at Paris in 1786-87. The plate was engraved at London and this first edition of the map was printed at Paris in 1787. The Fry and Jefferson map (lower middle) [8 3/4 x 4 7/8 in.] is here reproduced in part, on greatly reduced scale, to show the 1775 highways (green lines); its cartouche [4 1/2 x 3 in.] is reduced less."

Size: 17 x 25 in. DeSCription: The following statement appears below the insert map
135
at left center: liThe large map by Dennis Griffith has been repro-
duced without modification except for the omission of the insert-map of the District of Columbia. Neither this federal district nor the city of Washington existed in 1788. In place of the insert-map this facsimile presents the map of Maryland which was published in the
Universal Magazine for February, 1780. Washington County, which is omitted on this 1780 map, was organized in 1776. Allegany County, which is shown on the large map, was not created until the year af-
ter Maryland ratified the Constitution of the United States. In 1788 Maryland's cities, villages, roads, etc., were more like those on the 1794 map than those on the 1780 map. II The state boundaries on both Griffith's map and the insert map, as well as the county lines on the Griffith map, are outlined in green.
County lines, roads, mills, furnaces, forges, houses of worship, homes, taverns, warehouses, and county seats are designated by symbols on the Griffith map. Rivers, creeks, mountains, towns, bridges, ferries, Chesapeake Bay, swamps, and coastal features are shown in some detail. Delaware's roads, creeks, and larger towns are located. The "City of Washington" and IA1exandria" are shown, as is the boundary of the District of Columbia. A fairly clear copy. See item 207 for a description of the Sesquicentennial series.

Plates E and F show the southern boundary of the United States, the mouth of the Mississippi River, lakes, towns, forts, Indian villages, and rivers. Plate F has a list of references which notes, among other information, the IIsource of the River St. Marysll which was to
be the basis for the continued dispute over the Georgia-Florida boundary. Ellicott's name appears on each sheet in varying forms as II del. II An Alexander is the II SC II of plates A, B, E, and F, while
Jones is listed as the sculptor of plates C and D. Very clear photostats except for plates E and F which are slightly unclear.

Map of Cumberland &Franklin. As refered to in Ramsey's Annals of
Tennessee. Engraved by W. Keenan. Charleston S. C. For Ramsey's
Annals of Tennessee [bottom right]. Form: Photostat. Size: 10 1/2 x 22 1/2 in. See: Ramsey, THE ANNALS OF TENNESSEE. Map reproduced from fron-
tispiece. Description: The date assigned this map is based on the date of the creation of the last county in Tennessee. The map appears to be a composite showing the states of Cumberland and Franklin, counties created as late as 1799, and state boundaries as they appeared in 1853. Towns, roads, paths, rivers, and mountains are shown on this rather poor photostat. From: The Ivan Allen Collection.

Georgia from the latest Authorities 1799. J. Scoles, sc. [top right]. Engraved for Payne's Geography Publish'd by [illegible].
New York [below neat line, center]. Form: Photostat. Size: 23 1/2 x 12 5/8 in. See: Wheat and Brun, MAPS AND CHARTS PUBLISHED IN AMERICA BEFORE
1800: A BIBLIOGRAPHY, p. 133, no. 619. Description: In area covered and information included, this map is almost identical to the 1795 Barker map described in item 281 and the 1796 Tanner maps described in item 293 and 294. Georgia's western boundary is the Mississippi River, and the map covers an area extending south to the Gulf of Mexico. Cherokee and Creek territories and towns are noted in some detail, while Choctaw and Chicasaw territories are merely named. Counties, towns, trading paths, roads, forts,
swamps, islands, rivers, and creeks appear. A few parish names are shown, as is a IITallassee Co. 1I which occupies unceded Indian territory in southeast Georgia. A poor copy which appears to have been enlarged. From: The Ivan Allen Collection.
