A map of the two Carolinas, shown together as a single sheet, invites a look at how colonial geography was first fixed on paper. The Carolinas began as one English grant in 1663 and were split into separate colonies around 1712, so maps from this period often treat the region as a unit while tracing its coastline, rivers and settlements in close detail. Noticing how the boundary line, harbors and inland waterways are drawn can reveal what mapmakers knew, and what they still guessed, about the interior.
