Notes

Plate 46 from the second edition of Moll's "Atlas Minor." This map was Britain's reply to Deslisle's 1718 "Carte de la Louisiane." Because England had already established trading posts among the Indians in these regions, Mol extended the British borders of Carolina westward into territiory along the Mississippi River already claimed by France.
