Georgia text
Description
Henshaw's description of Georgia (like several other states in her book) lacks cardinal orientation or labels for bordering regions and bodies of water -- but this makes it no less interesting to attempt to parse geographically.
She heads the text with "Georgia - Missippi Territory - West Florida," a sequence that makes little geographic sense. Does it make aesthetic sense? Can we read the channel or rift in her text as the course of a mighty river?
