The Plan de la rivière du Cap Fear depuis la barre jusques à Brunswick is a historic nautical chart published in Paris in 1778 by the Dépôt des cartes et plans de la marine, under the direction of Antoine de Sartine, comte d'Alby. Engraved by Petit, this detailed map depicts the Cape Fear River Estuary in North Carolina, illustrating the river’s course from the sandbar at its mouth to the town of Brunswick. With a scale of approximately 1:90,000, the map is hand-colored and features relief shown pictorially, along with depth soundings for navigation. The prime meridian is set at Paris, reflecting its French origins. Additionally, the map includes sailing instructions and observations, making it a valuable resource for maritime navigation in the late 18th century. This beautifully crafted chart provides a fascinating glimpse into the geography and cartographic techniques of the period.
