Nice early map of Mississippi Territory, including Alabama, and Georgia from Carey's Minor American Atlas… This map also appeared in Carey's American Pocket Atlas. It shows towns, travel routes, and topography. West Florida is also included on this map that gives a rare early view of the South. This map was issued several years prior to the formation of Alabama Territory. Following the publication of Carey's American Atlas in 1795, there were a small group of 18th Century works which included a complete set of state maps, including John Reid's American Atlas, Joseph T. Scott's Gazetteer, Carey's Pocket atlas and works by Jeddidiah Morse. This small group of maps and the few separately issued maps of the region, which are now virtually unobtainable, mark the beginnings of the indigenous cartographic publishing business in America, and are now highly soughtafter.
