A new and accurate map of Virginia wherein most of the counties are laid down from actual surveys. With a concise account of the number of inhabitants, the trade, soil, and produce of that Province.

Comparing this map with a modern map of the area, it is clear the the Irvin river shown in the map is the modern Smith River. (Though sources from the 1700's exist that also refer to the Smith river in this area. eg. Abstract of Henry County, Virginia vol. 1 cited below.)

This map appears to be based on an earlier map by cartographer Robert de Vaugondy.
