An original and unique map was issued in Luke Drury's scarce A Geography for Schools, upon a Plan Entirely New, Consisting of an Analytical Arrangement of All the Great Features of Nature. Details an unsettled border in the west which appears to be the Tugulo [now Tuguloo] River. While the colonial boundary of South Carolina was set as the Savannah River, there was disagreement as to whether the Tugulo or the Keowee River to the east was part of the Savannah River for defining the boundary.
The map provides essential information, including the river systems, small mountains in the northwest, and the "High Hills of Santee" located above Statesburg. It also highlights several cities and towns, such as Charleston, Beaufort, Columbia, and Spartanburg, among others.
