Nova Virginia Tubula, Peitrus Karius Calivit, ca. 1630

This unusual map is intriguing to study to our sensibilities. It is turned on it’s side, and shows the Chesapeake Bay running across map (in the direction we would consider west to east). It, like most all maps of the New World at this time, was copied from the John Smith map. The Smith map was first published in 1608 and it remained the most influential map until the last quarter of the 17^th century. Many of the place names Smith used on the map remain today.
