Note: Regarded as one of the most significant maps of the Revolutionary War period, Mouzon's map of the Carolinas was consulted by American, English, and French commanders during the Revolution, with the personal copies of figures such as George Washington and Sir Henry Clinton now held in permanent collections. Though little is known about Mouzon's life, his map became a landmark work which was consulted and copied widely after its publication due to its level of detail and accuracy.
