Colonial-era map of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and northern Florida. The border between Georgia and South Carolina is not clearly defined, and the western boundary of the colonies extends as far as the Appalachian Mountains, here labelled as the 'Cherokee Mountains'.
A paragraph of text describes the Cherokee nation as a "Numerous and Warlike Nation" and notes that "as they are in amity and alliance with the subjects of the King of Great Britain, they serve as a powerful barrier...against France and Spain".
