This is the important 1777 Georges Le Rouge French edition of the seminal John Mitchell map of the eastern part of North America. The Mitchell map is considered the single most important map in 18th-century American history. It was used as a primary reference for nearly every treaty and boundary dispute in colonial North America from the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763) through the late 19th century. The map is all the more astounding because this is Mitchell's one and only map - a truly remarkable feat of virtuosity. (more details)

Myrtle Beach welcomes over ten million visitors a year.
This is a 1972 Jak Smyrl pictorial map of the Grand Strand, a sixty-mile stretch of South Carolina coastline known for its beautiful beaches and fantastic weather. Myrtle Beach, a haven for college students and families alike all year round, is the most well-known tourism center. Identified as the 'Hub of the Grandstrand' on the map, Myrtle Beach's amusement park and 'Sun Fun Festival' are promoted. Comic vignettes and notes populate the rest of this amusing piece. The 'hiway patrol' writes a ticket for a slow-moving turtle, while tourists from all over go fishing off the coast. People lounge on the beaches and surf, while others sail (or try to). The Georgetown Lighthouse appears near the bottom border, although it is suffering technical difficulties since its candle has gone out. Smyrl even includes some historical notes, including where indigo and other plantations were, along with the possible site of the ill-fated Spanish settlement from 1526 near Winyah Bay.
