One of four Carolina manuscripts in the Blathwayt Atlas drawn by map makers of the Thames school. The contents of this map resulted from the explorations of William Hilton, commander of the ship Adventure, who left Barbados in August 1663 and explored the Carolina coast. A similar map, but in pen and ink, is in the British Museum and is signed by Nicolas Shapley, November 1662. The Blathwayt Atlas is a collection of 48 maps assembled between 1680 and 1685 as a reference atlas for the Office of Trade and Plantations, compiled by William Blathwayt, Secretary to the Lords of Trade and Plantations.
