Incredible hand-drawn map of an area called Cleveland’s Place in Taliaferro County, Georgia, 10 x 15, signed below a lengthy description in black ink, “Alexander Stephens.” Stephens draws, colors, and labels an intricate map of a large parcel of land, including small brown rectangles for buildings and notations to point out interesting geographical features, including “Indian corn land,” “Wheat field,” “Wood land with Hickory and Walnut,” and “Orchard.” He goes on to offer his opinion of it at the bottom, in part: “I am well acquainted with Mr. Cleveland the owner of the land set forth in the above plat—I am also pretty well acquainted with the waters and surrounding lands—they are upon the waters of Sharol Creek which where always considered amongst the best lands in the county when fresh—Mr. Cleveland’s lands before the war would have commanded upwards of ten dollars an acre.” In very good condition, with various folds, repaired edge tears (one passing through beginning of signature), and an area of paper loss to the right edge (not affecting any portions of the map or writing). An exceptional piece unlike any we have encountered, especially interesting because Stephens touches upon the economic struggles of the South following the Civil War.
