A Compleat map of North-Carolina from an actual survey

This image is an excerpt of "A Compleat map of North-Carolina from an actual survey," created by John Collett, J. Bayly, and Samuel Hooper, and published in London, England in 1770. The entire map is 27 inches by 42 inches and shows the entire North Carolina colony, as known at the time. This excerpt shows the "horseshoe" portion of the Deep River where Philip Alston had his home in the southern bend. On the map this location is inside the "u" of the river to the left of the words "Governors Creek". The northern section of the bend, above Governor's Creek, is nearby and in the general location of Carbonton, the area where Loyalist Connor Dowd had his mills, tannery, and distillery.

Public Domain is a copyright term that is often used when talking about copyright for creative works. Under U.S. copyright law, individual items that are in the public domain are items that are no longer protected by copyright law. This means that you do not need to request permission to re-use, re-publish or even change a copy of the item. Items enter the public domain under U.S. copyright law for a number of reasons: the original copyright may have expired; the item was created by the U.S. Federal Government or other governmental entity that views the things it creates as in the public domain; the work was never protected by copyright for some other reason related to how it was produced (for example, it was a speech that wasn't written down or recorded); or the work doesn't have enough originality to make it eligible for copyright protection.
