Delicately engraved map depicts the colonies from Albemarle Sound to the Alatamaha River. It probably owes its origin to the 1752 map of the region by Emanuel Bowen. Numerous English settlements along the coast and Indian villages are located throughout, including a number west of the Appalachian Mountains. There is more detail in the area west of the Blue Ridge than in many other maps of the period. The map shows a rudimentary course of the Tennessee River in the western section of the map. Title cartouche incorporates the distance scale. This is a Dutch edition of Bellin's map, dated 1773 and engraved by A. v. Krevelt.
