A New Map of North Carolina with its canals, roads & distances from place to place, along the Stage & Steam boat routes.

Insets in left corners include a large "Gold Region". Table of Distances top center in three columns. Top right is a profile cross section of the Dismal Swamp Canal. Key left of title notes battle fields with dates attached.
