A dotted line across the state at 35.5 degrees latitude is probably the Granville Line; the area north of this line, and possibly the soundings, are based on the surveys of William Churton. Cartouche in the lower right corner contains a dedication to George III, surmounted by the Hanoverian crest "To His most Excellent Majesty George the IIId. King of Great Britain, &c. &c. &c. This Map is most humbly dedicated by His Majesty's most humble obedient & dutiful subject. John Collet." The cartouche also contains symbols of the new world including an Indian, an alligator and a wildcat. At upper left: 82° 19' W. Long. from London...6 Degrees of Long. from Currituck Inlet. Library copy: Second state. State 2 (of 2) of the map identified by the depiction of a marshy area below Cross Creek (not evident on State 1).
