annotates: • Map depicts the “British colony” of Georgia and portions of the neighboring territories of the French and Spanish.
• This British map of contested colonial lands along the northern Gulf Coast reflects the growing British interest in these areas. The map provides detailed information on the region’s geographical features, including rivers, coastlines, settlements, forts, and trading posts, emphasizing the British efforts to assert control over these territories.
• The way Indigenous nations are depicted seems to affirm the lack of understanding and knowledge by the British of the extents and relationships.
