Engraved maps of the English colonies along the Atlantic coast were a staple of 18th-century atlases, showing a long strip of settlement from New England down to the Carolinas beside the largely unmapped interior. Plymouth, where English Separatists landed in 1620, was among the earliest of these settlements, and the shared autumn harvest feast of 1621 is the event usually linked to the holiday. A map like this one shows how small that foothold was against the vast continent behind it. Maps were also tools of empire, used to claim land and plan trade, so they reveal as much about English ambitions as about the coast itself.
