    This colonial-era map, created by J. B. Homann in Nuremberg, Germany, is designed to encourage immigration from German-speaking areas to the colonies. Notably, Germantown in western Virginia is prominently mentioned, reflecting efforts to attract settlers to this region. While more coastal settlements are named, Germantown stands out as one of the few places named in western Virginia. The map features unique geographical interpretations, including the Atlantic Ocean referred to as Mere Virgne or the 'sea of Virginia.' Florida is depicted extending towards an oversized Lake Erie, with a fictional lake 'Aplache' shown in the Carolina colony. Detailed depictions of native villages, colonial settlements, rivers, mountains, and forts provide insight into the landscape of the region. Major cities such as Philadelphia and Manhattan are also depicted on the map. A massive decorative cartouche adorns the map, showcasing Native Americans and agricultural goods, adding to its visual appeal. Hand-colored and copperplate engraved, this map measures 23 x 19 1/4 inches and is presented in excellent condition, with authenticity guaranteed.
