Description: Detail of the Native American village of Joara (spelled "Xuala" on the map) and two neighboring villages in what is now North Carolina, in the southeastern United States, on Chiaves' 1584 map of La Florida. The map was drawn by Spanish royal cartographer Geronimo Chiaves, and was probably based on accounts by members of the Hernando De Soto expedition (1539-1543). The map was originally published in Abraham Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum in 1584.
