This map of South Georgia, focusing on the south-central region as I have been doing with my postings, shows a much more sparsely inhabited area than we know today. S. Augustus Mitchell was one of the great early American cartographers, and his maps of Georgia in the mid-nineteenth century are among the most accurate available, treasured by both collectors and historians for their bold use of color.
