An excellent example of William G. Bonner's rare, important, and monumental 1847 map of Georgia, here in its first edition, first state. When issued, this was the first major map of the state to appear in almost 20 years, and thus the first to represent Georgia with some approximation of its modern borders. It is, moreover, the first major map to illustrate the westward expansion of Georgia in the 1830s and 40s, with the annexation of Creek and Cherokee territory. It is also one of the few maps to clearly delineate the Georgia-Florida border dispute. (more details)

'Printed in the Field, Chattanooga, Tenn.', this map of northwestern Georgia is a remarkable artifact of the American Civil War (1861 - 1864) issued by William E. Merrill and William C. Margendant days before the launching of the Atlanta Campaign (May 7, 1863 - Sep 2, 1864). Printed on muslin specifically for Union Calvary officers, this map covers the northeastern part of Georgia, from Chattanooga and the Tennessee border south as far as Dallas and east to include Kennesaw. There can be little doubt that this map saw action in the field, with period manuscript annotations marking routes after May 17th, when Sherman split Union forces south of Adairsville into three separate armies headed by Maj. Generals John Schofield, George H. Thomas, and James B. McPherson. (more details)

This is a rare 1777 Jean-Baptiste Jacques de Beaurain map of the United States during the American Revolutionary War, issued in anticipation of French entry into the war on the side of the revolutionaries. The map includes a bold illustration of the goddess Ossa (fame) unrolling an expansive map of the Theater of War in the Hudson corridor, proclaiming the newly formed United States. Mars, the god of War, looks on, shield and torch in hand, his arsenal ready - much like France itself. This map is thus an instrument of propaganda intended to prepare the public for French participation in the American Revolution - an event which followed in early 1778. (more details)

A fine example of Mark Catesby’s rare 1743 / 1771 map of the southeastern parts of North America. This map is considered one of the finest maps of the colonial era American southeast. The map covers from the Mississippi River and from Cape Charles and Cape Henry to Jamaica, including all of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Cuba, Hispaniola, the Bahamas, Porto Rico, and parts of the Yucatan. Among other features, the map is notable for its remarkable cartouche design, which includes shells, corals, and seaweeds indigenous to the Americas. The map is furthermore an important reference for early forts, Indian tribes, English factories, and more in the southeast. The river systems of Georgia and Carolina are particularly impressive in their detail. (more details)

This is a rare 1864 geographical atlas by Marinda Branson Moore prepared for Confederate children. Published during the American Civil War (1861 - 1865), the work only maps the Confederate States and contains historically relevant, if racially offensive, text critical of the Union. The work, as expressed by historians O. L. Davis, Jr. and Serena Rankin Parks, addresses the concerns of Southern schoolteachers who saw existing published textbooks as 'blighted with by Yankee biases and inaccuracies.' (more details)

This is a rare c. 1779 Basset / Chéreau broadside leaflet map-view of the Gulf of Mexico littoral c. 1720, just a few years after New Orleans was founded. It is likely the earliest printed view of New Orleans - though admittedly, it is not an accurate representation of the city at the time. The map was issued as a propaganda leaflet to promote New Orleans and French Louisiana. It is indeed one of the earliest maps to include a view of New Orleans and the indigenous peoples of the Gulf. The present example is the second state, issued in late 1770s by Basset to capitalize on French public interest in the American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783). (more details)

A rare and extraordinary 1875 Reconstruction Era map of Chatham County, Georgia, illustrating in large the vicinity of Savannah. This map was published by Charles G. Platen, who incorporated local survey work, the 1818 John McKinnon map, and the meticulous work of the U.S. Coast survey to compile this, the largest and most detailed map of the Savannah area ever issued. The intent behind the map, to develop agricultural lands, is evident in the color coding, with green referencing lowlands, swamps, and other wetlands, blue representing water, and yellow arable land. Platen advances the map considerably by drawing on the work of 36 local surveyors, all of which are named, to add property lots and owners throughout. (more details)

One of the finest and most important large-scale maps of Georgia ever produced, this is Emmanuel Bowen's 1748 map of the colony of Georgia, considered the first obtainable specific map of that region. The map covers the Atlantic coast from Charleston (South Carolina) to Cape Canaveral (Florida) and extends westward to just beyond the Mississippi River, covering the Gulf Coast and the Mississippi Delta. It extends north along the Mississippi to about 35° N Latitude. This map was drawn by Bowen just 15 years after General James Oglethorpe received the Georgia charter from King George II, for whom the colony is named (April 21, 1732). It was intended to accompany the expanded 1748 edition of John Harris's work Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca, which included a new chapter on the founding of Georgia. (more details)

This is a strong example of Emmanuel Bowen's 1747 map of the Carolinas and Georgia. The map reveals the region against the rising hostilities that would soon culminate in the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763). Among its highlights are the defenses of the Georgia colony - then just 13 years old. It also notes the American Indian treaties and alliances that were the cornerstone of British colonial governance and commerce. (more details)

A map of the utmost rarity, this is Paul Charles Boudousquie's map of Mobile Bay. It is considered by Mobile historian Caldwell Delaney, head of the Museum of the City of Mobile for 40 years and author of Howes' U.S.iana (1650 - 1950), the rarest of maps delineating Mobile. It is moreover, the only significant locally published map of Mobile Bay to appear in the 19th century. The map covers all of Mobile Bay as well as the Mobile River Delta, the city of Mobile, and much of the surrounding country. The newly dredged ship channel is boldly denoted through the center of the Bay. This map appeared during a period of revived optimism following years of social, political, and economic decline.

This is an extremely scarce 1861 British Admiralty Chart of the Savannah River and city of Savannah, Georgia, issued at the outset of the American Civil War (1961 - 1865). Although formally neutral in the conflict, British private interests financed blockade runners that sent munitions and luxuries to Confederate ports in return for cotton and tobacco. This map of the Savannah River was doubtless produced for this purpose.

The map is derived from U.S. Coast Survey work in the Savannah region completed in 1855, and although the Admiralty chart is superior in construction and presentation, is substantively similar. Coverage extends from the mouth of the Savanna River, Hilton Head, and Tybee Island, westward towards savanna, as far north as Argyle Island. The triangulation for this map was completed by E.O. Cord, C. O. Boutelle, C. P. Bolles and D. T. Van Buren. The topography is the work of H. I. Whiting. The Hydrography was accomplished by a party under the command of J. N. Maffitt. (more details)

A massive four panel 1861 Edmund Blunt blueback nautical chart or maritime map covering the southeastern coast of the United States from the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay to Florida and Cuba, including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia coasts. This highly detailed chart is a fine example of Blunt's work offering limited inland detail but a wealth of nautical information including countless depth soundings, light houses, shore lines, river soundings, shipping lanes, and other practical information for the mariner. Although mostly focused on the southeastern United States, the leftmost map or southern sheet, extends to cover Cuba and offers an excellent inset of Havana. (more details)
