Historical notes:
Ferrar, an officer of the Virginia Company, had an active interest in the encouragement of the silk industry and the exploration of the interior of Virginia with a view to finding a route to the Pacific Ocean. The position of the Pacific Ocean was meant to suggest how close Virginia was to a passage to the Orient were to each other. The first exploration of the interior was not undertaken until 1668 when Governor Berkeley sponsored John Lederer's expedition.No map was issued with the first and second editions, but Ferrar's design was engraved in 1651 for the third edition.
