The article focuses on a 1757 map of South Carolina and Georgia by cartographer William Gerard de Brahm. The author explores how the map portrays environmental, political, and economic conditions of the colonies, discusses the map's influence on the history of geographic knowledge, and explains how de Brahm uses the map to make a statement about the landscape. He analyzes several aspects of the map, including its depiction of settlement development and soil types, the list of proprietors it includes, and its cartouche, which depicts slaves making indigo. |
