  1748 (undated)         1 : 2500000 Description A superb example 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
