Description |
English: A beautiful example of Finley's important 1827 map of Georgia. Depicts the state with moderate detail in Finley's classic minimalist style. Shows river ways, roads, canals, and some topographical features. Offers color coding at the county level. Finley's map of Georgia is particularly interesting and important due to its portrayal of the rapidly changing American Indian situation in the western part of the state. In 1827 a substantial part of northwestern Georgia was a confined territory assigned to the Lower Creek and Cherokee nations. Finley's map details the borders of this country as defined by the Flint and Chestatie Rivers. Also notes numerous American Indian villages and missionary stations, including a Moravian mission, within the Lower Creek and Cherokee territories. Just four years after this map was made the Creek and Cherokee would forcibly relocated westward in the infamous Trail of Tears. Title and scale in lower right quadrant. Engraved by Young and Delleker for the 1827 edition of Anthony Finley's General Atlas . |
