Within the first year of settlement, Oglethorpe sent numerous maps back to Germany to be used to encourage settlement. In February 1735, he sent the manuscript draft from which this map was engraved to the Georgia Trustees. This is the earliest detailed map of the colony and illustrates settlements, farms, forts, roads, and outposts surrounding Savannah. Adjacent to the town plan, Oglethorpe included the outlying farm lots.ProvenanceBefore 2009, Cohen & Taliaferro LLC (New York, NY); 2009-present, purchased by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (Williamsburg, VA).
