"One of the earliest maps of Williamsburg (Middle Plantation), drawn by Franz Michel, a native of Switzerland who traveled to America. Michel's fanciful map shows ships, deer and a turkey, as well as Williamsburg "between the Jems and Jorgk Rivier, six miles from the Jems and ten from Jorgtown." On the page facing the map is a letter from Michel to his brother Hans."
