First Survey of North Carolina 1808
North Carolina had been a state for two decades before anyone charted it from real field measurement. Jonathan Price and John Strother did that work, and the result, published in 1808, became the first actual survey of the state committed to a single sheet. It is the document that fixed how early Americans understood the country between the Outer Banks and the Blue Ridge.
This map is a reproduction, not an original. Map Shop scans the antique sheet at high resolution and prints a restored version, so the linework reads cleanly on a wall instead of fighting two centuries of foxing and fade. It suits genealogists working Carolina family lines, law and land offices, and library and museum displays.
