Herman Moll, a London map engraver who styled himself "geographer" on his title pages, produced this map of Carolina for an English readership eager for news of its colonies. Its western edge is where the Great Smoky Mountains would lie, though the range appears only as a rough band of ridges, sketched from traders' reports rather than systematic surveys. Maps like this show how little of the interior Europeans actually knew at the time, and they are worth studying for their place names and boundary claims as much as for their outlines.
