William Berry's 1681 map, "North America Divided into its Principall Parts<br>
where are distinguished the severall States which belong to the English,<br>
Spanish and French . ."<br>
shows a peculiar boundary between Carolina and Florida. Although this was<br>
an English-produced map, it obviously does not favor English claims for<br>
Carolina's territory. It is marked with blue arrowheads on the image at this URL:<br>

<br>
It seems similar but, more ?purposeful? than the boundary between Virginia and Florida<br>
on Jansson?s 1641 America Septentrionalis. Is there a historical basis for this<br>
strange boundary, or is it just a random creation of the cartographer?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for enlightening me.<br>
