Carta delle provincie meridionali degli Stati-Uniti by Carlo Botta

Subject: Southeast United States

Creator: Botta, Carlo

Date: 1819

Color: Uncolored

Size: 13.2 x 19.1 inches

Description:

An Italian map of the south eastern United States from Botta's Storia della Guerra dell' Independenza degli Stati Uniti d'America, which was based upon Francois la Rochefouchauld Liancourt's 'Travels through the United States of North America…', first published in 1799.
The map extends from the Chesapeake Bay in the north to Savannah, Georgia in the south, and west to Tennessee, covering the states of Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and part of Georgia. The map provides a nice overview of early settlements and roads, as well as the mountains and forests.

Between Tennessee and Georgia is a long strip of land labeled Territorio degli Stati Uniti. This land originally belonged to South Carolina but was ceded back to the United States in 1787, subject to Indian occupancy. Numerous Indian villages are shown, especially in the region of present-day Alabama.

Condition: A due to being in good condition, folds as issued. Good margins. Good impression.
