The most important map of the Carolinas, "the archetype for plotting out that region for almost fifty years" Schwartz & Ehrenburg. This is the second state of three, identical to the first state except with the addition of Fort Sullivan to the inset of Charlestown. The map originally "appeared on the eve of the American Revolution, and its up-to-date geography made it the most widely consulted map of the area used in the war effort" (Pritchard & Taliaferro). George Washington’s copy of this 1776 issue, folded and mounted on cloth, resides in the collection of the American Geographical Society. Cumming, Southeast in Early Maps 450; Pritchard & Taliaferro, Degrees of Latitude 44; Schwartz & Ehrenberg, Mapping of America pl. 115.
