1938 Christopher Murphy D.A.R. Pictorial Map of Georgia

This is a rare 1938 Golden Age pictorial map of Georgia published by the Daughters of the American Revolution and drawn by Savannah's favorite hometown artist Christopher Murphy. The map focuses on historical events, sights, architecture, and more throughout the state of Georgia. In addition to the dated sights of historical events, it also notes early trade routes, including the Old Indian Path to Tugaloo, the Lower Creek Trading Path, and De Soto's route. The map is surrounded by dated illustrations of important buildings. The border features the names of significant Georgia historical figures, including John C. Fremont, Sidney Lanier, James Edward Oglethorpe, Nathanael Green, George Whitfield, and the Creek chief Tomochichi. D.A.R. Markers are noted with a Maltese style cross.

This map was compiled by Mrs. Robert J. Travis, a D.A.R. Member and designed by Christopher Murphy. The copyright for this map was filed but the Georgia D.A.R. branch on March 9, 1938. Today this map is quite rare with the OCLC identifying only a single institutional example.
