Southeast Colonial Map of the United States, Bahamas and Greater Antilles, 1706 ‘De Vaste Kust van Chicora Tussen Florida en Virginie, door Lucas Vasquez d’Ayllon en Andere, van Hispaniola Besterend’, Aa, Pieter van der Scarce Map of an unusually shaped Florida, with the Carolinas north to Cape Hatteras and the western Caribbean. The map is based on the explorations of Lucas Vázquez de Ayllon, as reported to Alonso d’Ojeda, who explored the coast of South Carolina in 1526 with a party of 500 colonists and settled near an area said to be near the mouth of the Peede River. Ayllon died of ship fever in 1526 and the remaining settlers abandoned the so-called colony and returned to Hispaniola. The map takes its name from a native village on the coast of South Carolina called Chicora, a land of supposed wealth and natural resources for which Ayllon was granted a patent by Charles V. In addition to Chicora, the fictitious Lake May is shown, here called Lac Grande. The Cape Fear River is shown as the R. Jordan, and the native villages of Pomejoc and Secotan are marked on the Carolina coast. The cartouche is flanked by natives in a pastoral landscape. References: Cumming (SE) #141.
