This is an early map of the state of North Carolina, which is a reduced version of Reid’s map of 1796. The map shows fine detail of watershed, towns, wagon roads, and mountains. There is particular emphasis on the Outer Banks. It locates Roanoke Island, Cape Fear, the Great Alligator dismal Swamp along the southern edge of the Albemarle Sound, and the Gr. Dismal Lebanon Swamp along the northern edge.
