annotates: • The map depicts the territories of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Chickasaw, Chahta (Choctaw), and other nations, as well as their relative locations to each other and to European settlements, primarily the forts, across the Southeast (east of the Mississippi).
• This map's depiction of Indigenous nations, rivers, terrain features, and trade routes, highlight the extensive network essential for navigation, trade, and communication between the different colonial and Indigenous nations in the Southeast.
• Depicts numerous towns with names, but the geography is skewed in sense of accuracy but perhaps not in spatial relationships.
