This map was drawn by Henry Timberlake in March 1762 when he visited the Cherokee. It gives the number of fighting men and the head man of each town as follows:
Mialaquo or the Great Island – 24 under the Governor of Attakullakulla
Toskegee – 55 Attakullakulla Governor
Tommotley – 91 Ostenaco Commander in Chief
Toqua – 82 Willinawaw Governor
Tennesee – 21 under the Goernment of Kanagatuckco
Chote – 175 Kanagatucko King and Governor
Chilboroey – 100 Yachtino Governor
Settacoo – 204 Cheulah Covernor
Tellassee – 47 Governor dead and none elected since
Total 809
Hat tip to Fletcher for the map.

All I can see is a map that does not make sense… VA on the left??, a PORT up north, on what? ocean? This fellow was not very bright for a map maker!
Can anyone locate this map on a US map? I love the map but would like to know more or less it’s location in the present day US.
Fort Loudon is on that map. It’s now a State Historic site. Here’s the link and they have a google map at the bottom of the page. http://fortloudoun.com/about/
Thank you so much for the link. Very near the Pisqua(sp.)Mts. that I hiked a few years back.
