Moseley 1733
This map was reproduced at about half of the original size. The Moseley map was the first to show details of land formation, waterways, and creeks as well as the names of the chief settlers and the larger plantations of the coastal area. (29” x 22 ¾”; 1” = 10 miles)
Collet 1770
Collet’s map is one of the major accomplishments in the history of North Carolina cartography because of its accuracy & documentation of the western movement of settlers. Shows roads, waterways and settlements as far west as the foothills. (33 1/8” x 21 ¾”; 1” = 11 ½ miles)
Mouzon 1775
Because this map was produced shortly before the American Revolution, it is often called the Revolutionary War Map of North and South Carolina. This large reproduction actually shows both states and was the map of choice until the Price-Stother’s map of 1808. Many new counties were first shown on the Mouzon map. The topography west of the Catawba River is more accurate and detailed. (31 3/8” x 22 ½”; 1” = 16miles)
Price-Strother 1808
The western expansion across the Blue Ridge makes it mark on this map. The Price-Strother map shows the most significant changes since Mouzon’s map in 1775. (35 ¾” x 17 1/8”; 1” = 13 ½ miles)
MacRae-Brazier 1833
This map was made more for politics and publicly. Eager to show the advances made in the state in the last 15 years the NC legislation supported its publication. (35 ¾” x 14 7/8”; 1” = 13 ½ miles)
Colton 1861
Published shortly before the Civil War, this map of both Carolinas provides a clear picture of the roads, streams & towns of both states. The addition of the rail system is the most striking difference between Colton’s 1861 and MacRae-Brazier in 1833. (22 ½” x 19 ¼”; 1” = 29 miles)
United States Coast Survey 1865
The most accurate map of its time by incorporating careful triangulation surveys. In addition to the normal map features, this map also notes the toll plank roads. (35 ¾” x 15 3/8”; 1” = 15 miles)
Kerr-Cain 1882
W.C. Kerr produced this map using new information for 1822 & includes many new villages. This was the first map using firsthand verification as Professor Kerr traveled over 4000 miles between 1886-1887 while correcting old data along the way. (33 3/8” x 15 ¼”; 1” = 16 miles)
