PREFACE
This volume has been prepared as a cartobibliographic reference tool to a major portion of the map holdings of the Georgia Surveyor General Department. It also serves as a companion volume to Janice Gayle Blake's PreNineteenth Century Maps in the Collection of the Georgia Surveyor General Department.
Several changes have been initiated which should contribute to the usefulness of this catalog. Subject entries have been added to the index; the author's full name has been used when available; the terminology of form has been altered in some cases; and the notation MS has been deleted from the date unless the item in the Surveyor General Department collection is an original manuscript.
Each entry contains the following information: author, date, cartouche, size, bibliographic references, scale, and a brief description. The author and date have been taken directly from the map or supplied by the compiler and denoted as such by the use of brackets. The cartouche, for the purposes of this catalog, is a verbatim account of all textual material pertinent to identification of the map. This includes map title, publishing information for commercially produced maps, and any narrative provided by the cartographer. No attempt has been made to correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation in an effort to maintain the integrity of the cartouche. If a title does not appear on the map, one has been supplied and denoted by brackets. The size of each map was determined by measuring between the neat line with the width being listed first. Scale has been provided when indicated on the map or when sufficient information appears from which it could be determined. Bibliographic data is generally a reference to the work in which the map was found or a citation referring the reader to Philip L. Phillips' A List of Geographical Atlases or A List ofMaps ofAmerica. The description describes the area portrayed by giving its territorial limits and generally includes a list of details to be found on the item.
A number of individuals, who have contributed directly or indirectly to the production of this catalog deserve recognition. The Surveyor General Department owes a special debt to David B. Poythress, Secretary of State of Georgia, for his continued support of the Department and its publication program. To Mr. Marion Hemperley, Deputy Surveyor General, I owe a personal debt of gratitude. He has encouraged my efforts and provided invaluable assistance in identifying and dating unknown maps. My special thanks go to Dr. Louis DeVorsey, of the Geography Department of the University of Georgia, for taking time from a very hectic schedule to criticize the rough

draft. Deserving of recognition are Janice Gilley, who typed the final draft and George Whiteley who provided photographs for the cover design and the map reproduction. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank Mrs. Pat Bryant, former Deputy Surveyor General, for her special friendship and constant encouragement during the compilation of this catalog.
The final responsibility for the form and content of this catalog is mine. Despite the help of professionals in the field of cartographic studies, inaccuracies are inevitable. Any information which will enable me to correct an error is welcome. Copies of maps described in this catalog can be obtained from the Surveyor General Department. Requests for copies and information should be addressed to me at the Surveyor General Department, Archives and Records Building, Atlanta, Georgia 30334. Margaret A. Johnsen April 3, 1981

INTRODUCTION
At the turn of the nineteenth century, Georgia consisted of twenty-four formally organized counties located along the Atlantic coast and Savannah River. By 1850, the State had acquired its present shape and the encompaseed territory divided into ninetyseven counties. As this territorial expansion occurred and settlement proceeded, maps were required which accurately recorded elements of the physical and cultural landscape. Thus, acquisition of Creek and Cherokee Indian lands llild their subsequent distribution to Georgians provided the primary impetus for the production of cartographic materials pertaining to Georgia during the first half of the nineteenth century.
That portion of Georgia located east of the Oconee River was distributed through utilization of the headright system. Under its provisions each head-of-household was entitled to a specified number of acres on the right of his/her head as well as a smaller amount for each family member. The location of these tracts was determined by metes and bounds surveys which were recorded as individual tracts in the office of the Surveyor General. Abuse of land granting regulations and a land fraud scheme known as the "Pine Barren Speculation" forced Georgia's officials to re-evaluate the State's land distribution system. The result was the adoption of a series of land lotteries to dispose of the remaining two-thirds of Georgia.
Between 1805 and 1832, six lotteries were organized to distribute approximately 29Y. million acres of Indian land as it was acquired by the State. This radical change was instituted so that each Georgia resident would have an equal chance of obtaining land and to prevent non-residents from securing large holdings of virtually free land from the State. Prior to convening each lottery, surveyors were employed to divide each county into land districts which were subsequently subdivided into land lots. Copies of the documentary records generated by these surveys were placed on me with the Surveyor General to safeguard against unscrupulous surveyors.
The cartographic records created in the process of distributing Georgia's public domain were an invlauable source of information for individuals producing early maps of the State. The survey returns for the sixty-six counties existing in 1850 which were wholly or partially distributed by the lotteries were particularly useful, for they provided comprehensive coverage of the area. Prior to this systematic platting, maps of the country west of the Oconee River were based on the tales of explorers, traders, missionaries, and others travelling through the Indian territories.
Commercial atlas publishers headquartered in Philadelphia and New York City produced the majority of state-wide maps during this period, as Georgia's budget did not contain the necessary funds to support a mapping program. Mathew Carey, Henry S. Tanner, and S. Augustus Mitchell were among the most notable nineteenth-century publishers who produced maps of Georgia.
The items produced by these and numerous other cartographers and map publishers illustrate the westward expansion of Georgia's public domain and the simultaneous diffusion of the State's population. Samuel Lewis, in 1804, published a map (Item 13) which depicted Georgia's western boundary as the Chattahoochee River and the limit of organized counties as the Oconee River. Several years later Daniel Sturges, Surveyor General of Georgia, drew and had published in 1818 a map of the State (Item 73) which included in Georgia the ceded Indian territory between the Oconee and Ocmulgee Rivers. This item is presumably the first published map of Georgia drawn by a Georgian, although the
3

plates were engraved and printed in Philadelphia. With increased settlement and the returns of two land lottery surveys, the level of accuracy of Sturges' map was far higher than any previously compiled item. Streams, roads, mountains, towns, county boundaries, and swamps were among the numerous details which he included. With each new land cession from the Creek and Cherokee Nations, revised maps were required to record Georgia's altered frontier. Henry S. Tanner's Georgia and Alabama (item 95) documents the changes that had occurred prior to 1823 when it was published. In 1831 Anthony Finley produced Georgia ((tern 150) which further documented the history of the States settlement. With the completion of the final land lottery in 1832 virtually the entire public domain of Georgia has been distributed to her citizens. In 1834, James H. Young provided a map of Georgia (Item 171) which depicted the entire state divided into counties. Each of these maps is significant, not only for its depiction of additional territory, but also for the increased level of settlement throughout the entire State.
In addition to maps of Georgia as a whole, cartographers and surveyors compiled many maps and plats of particular places or portions of the State. These were often surveys of estates, as in the case of Mansfield Plantation (Item 2), plats of towns, such as Statesboro, Georgia (Item 8), or maps of more general areas, such as the Georgia coast (Item 9), or the 1818 Creek cession (Items 65-68).
A wide variety of processes were used to print maps during the first half of the nineteenth century. The most popular of these was engraving, although woodcutting and lithography were also practiced. Several advantages resulting from the physical characteristics of the engraved copper plate had insured its previous rise as a replacement for woodblocks. The engraved surface could be much larger than that a woodblock could provide, thus supplying additional space to include more detailed data. The precision of the inscribed details was much higher than heretofore experienced with woodcuts. Most significantly, metal plates were much more durable and easier to alter which reduced the cost of a single copy and eliminated the need to prepare new plates as the data was amended.
Copper plate printing was a complicated and time-consuming process. The plate had to be hammered to the requisite size and thickness, polished with a grinding stone, and rubbed with a steel burnisher until it has a mirror finish. After the plate had been prepared in this fashion, it was coated with wax which received the preliminary design. With the aid of a graver which cut lines and scratches into the plate, the map design was incised into the copper in order to hold the ink for printing. Equal care was then taken in prepparing the ink, selecting the paper, inking the plate, and operating the press as was found in incising the design.
A wide variety of factors then, influenced the cartography of Georgia during the first half of the nineteenth century. As can be seen by this brief introduction, technology of surveying and printing, and the level and pattern of settlement were among the most important of these forces.

Scale: I inch equals approximately 8 miles. Description: In I829, John Coffee, surveyor for the United States, proposed that the Creek-Cherokee boundary line begin "at the lower shallow ford on Chattahoochee, which is about I5 miles below the Suwannee old town, and run from then westwardly in a direction to strike the ridge which divides the waters running into little river, which is a branch of the Hightowa, from those running into Sweetwater Creek, which runs into Chattahoochee about two miles below Buzzard roost, and running thence with said ridge, westwardly leaving all the water which run [sic] into the Hightowa and Coosa rivers to the right, on Cherokee lands, and all the waters that run southwardly inth the Chattahoochee and Tallapoosa rivers, to the left, in the Creek lands, until said ridge intersects the
line which has been marked between the Creeks and Cherokees from Buzzard roost to Wills Creeks, thence with that line to the Coosa River opposite the mouth of Wills Creek." The line run by Coffee was ultimately accepted as the true boundary line between the two Indian nations. This survey contains numerous details among which are Indian settlements, streams, paths, and mountains. The date of the map was ascertained from correspondence pertaining to the survey (Georgia Archives Microfilm Reel No. 101-3, beginning with from 0058).
