Carteret County was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Coree, Neusiok, and Pamlico. In 1713, the English established a settlement in the area, which became the town of Beaufort. In 1722, the county was officially established and named after John Carteret, the Earl of Granville, who was also a Lord Proprietor of the Carolina Colony. The town was named after the Duke of Beaufort, who was one of the Lords Proprietors of the Carolina Colony. During the American Revolution, Beaufort served as a base for privateers who harassed British shipping along the coast.

From notorious pirates like Blackbeard to lesser-known figures like Anne Bonny and Calico Jack Rackham, the Outer Banks was a haven for buccaneers and privateers seeking fortune and adventure on the high seas. In October 1720, Calico Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny were captured by the British navy near Ocracoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. Rackham and his crew had been partying and drinking, leaving them unprepared for the sudden attack. Bonny and Mary Read, another female member of the crew, fought bravely alongside the men but were eventually overpowered. Bonny's gender was discovered, but she was spared from execution because she was pregnant. Rackham and several members of his crew were hanged in Jamaica for piracy, while Bonny's fate remains unknown. the capture of Rackham and Bonny is significant as it marked the end of the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean.

Compiled when David Thomas Valentine (1841-1870) was Assistant Clerk of the Common Council, it served as an early attempt to assemble civic data, city charters, ordinances, and maps into a single reference work. This 1838 edition predates the regular annual series and is not always listed among the later “official” manuals (which began in 1841), but bibliographers recognize it as the first appearance of Valentine’s work in this format. <br><br>

Compiled and drawn under the supervision of 2nd Lt. N. E. Bower, Corps of Engineers, the map was prepared for a Board of Officers convened on November 6, 1902 to review and verify the reservation’s boundaries, fences, roads, streams, and terrain. It presents the reservation in three components -- the Original Reservation, the Western Addition, and the Eastern Addition -- with detailed Public Land Survey System grids, contour lines, drainage, and the developed cantonment near Medicine Bluff Creek.<br><br>With the frontier gone and the cavalry mission fading, the fort shifted toward a new role as artillery units arrived, including the formation of the 39th Field Artillery Battery in 1902. This transition ultimately saved the fort from closure, and with the last cavalry regiment departing in May 1907, Fort Sill was firmly on the path to becoming the home of U.S. Army Field Artillery.<br><br>This map captures that transition with precision, drawing on General Land Office surveys, U.S. Engineer triangulations, earlier post maps, and contemporary field notes. Today the blueprint stands as an important visual record of the boundaries and landscape of one of the nation’s most significant western military posts, known as the later home of the Field Artillery School and the final residence of the Apache prisoners of war, including Geronimo.<br><br>

Details	1981	White-Mountain-Graphics	Illustrated-Pictorial-Map-of-Martha’s-Vineyard	A colorful illustrated poster map of Martha's Vineyard drawn by K. Rinaldo and published in 1981 by White Mountain Graphics. The poster is filled with hundreds of hand-drawn vignettes capturing island towns, harbors, beaches, landmarks, and summer pastimes. The artist uses a cartoonlike style to show ferries approaching Vineyard Haven, sailboats in Katama Bay, lighthouses, beaches, farms, and well-known establishments across Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, and Chilmark. Inset scenes, handwritten labels, humorous details, and decorative border elements give the sheet the character of a personal visual tour rather than a formal cartographic product. <br><br> The map functions as a record of Vineyard culture, highlighting cottages, inns, restaurants, bicycle routes, fishing spots, and community traditions that defined the island during the period. Its composition rewards close viewing, with dozens of local references rendered in a bright palette intended to evoke the island's summer energy. A striking pictorial map for collectors of Vineyard ephemera and American resort-town cartography. <br><br> White Mountain Graphics was a small New Hampshire-based illustration and design studio active primarily in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Operating out of Jackson, New Hampshire, the firm produced a range of commercially printed posters, pictorial maps, and souvenir-oriented visual materials, often in a hand-drawn style similar to the Martha's Vineyard map. <br><br>

Issued as a folding plate from Bulletin No. 7, "The Pensacola Terrace and Associated Beaches and Bars in Florida", the sheet covers the entire state by counties, with coastal lowlands along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean shaded in blue to indicate areas thought to have been drowned during a late Pleistocene high stand of sea level, approximately 75,000 to 125,000 years ago. <br><br> Printed at a scale of 1:1,615,680, the map includes county boundaries, major rivers, and principal towns. As an early statewide synthesis of old beaches, Leverett's map documents how Florida geologists in the 1930s interpreted ancient shorelines and coastal plains, linking modern settlement patterns to former shorelines now stranded well above present sea level. <br><br>

T . . .	Details	1960	Conrad--Maynard	Ye-Olde-Charte-Of-Gull-Lake-Kalamazoo-County-Michigan	Early twentieth century blueprint pictorial map of Gull Lake in Kalamazoo and Barry Counties, Michigan, with hand-drawn shorelines, compass rose, and whimsical period lettering. The sheet captures the resorts, parks, beaches, and cottages that once ringed this deep spring-fed lake north of Kalamazoo, documenting the area during its formative decades as a regional leisure destination. The artist, Dr. Maynard Conrad (d. 1998) uses simple white linework on blue background to present an engaging portrait of the lake at a time when summer colonies, canoe clubs, and motor launches were beginning to reshape the shoreline. <br><br> The map highlights a tight cluster of neighboring lakes that define the Gull Lake region. Little Long Lake and Miller's Lake appear to the southwest, while Grassy Lake is shown just beyond the isthmus that separates Gull Lake from its smaller companions. These lakes form part of a distinctive kettle-lake chain created by the region's glacial geography, a landscape that helped establish Gull Lake as one of the most celebrated inland waters of southwest Michigan. The sheet also notes well known features of the day, including Idlewild, Ross Township Park, Island Park, Crescent Beach, the Country Club grounds, and the string of cottages along Lover's Lane. <br><br> This pictorial blueprint serves equally as a regional souvenir and a record of community identity around Gull Lake. Resorts such as Bayberry Inn, Hickory Point, and Walnut Inn, together with family parks, bird sanctuaries, and boat landings, illustrate a thriving recreational culture. Surviving large format blueprints of local lakeside development are scarce, and this example offers collectors an attractive combination of graphic charm, local history, and early twentieth century Michigan cartographic style.
