Colonial Map of the Carolinas and Georgia (1740) - Historical Boundary Lines #1853279 (License: Personal Use)

The map depicts the political geography of the southeastern British colonies in 1740, emphasizing the division between North and South Carolina, the newly established colony of Georgia (added in 1763), and contested areas such as the Appalachian Mountains and Spanish Florida. Key geographic features-including the Mississippi River, Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and major rivers like the Savannah and Altamaha-are clearly labeled, alongside important towns and Native American territories like the Cherokee lands. Boundary lines reflect royal charters, treaties, and colonial expansion efforts during the early 18th century.
