Historical notes:
This was the first map to name the region of New England when it was published in 1616. Prince Charles provided much of the nomenclature, although only three names on Smith's first map survived into modern times. The early colonists to New England used the 1616 map and settled mainly along the Charles River; their settlements can be seen in this version of Smith's map. Simon van de Passe, member of a Dutch family of artists, served as portraitist to the royal family and court in London starting in 1613.
