Squirrel King (or Fani Minko') presented a deerskin map to Governor Nicholson on September 14, 1723 at Savannah Town, South Carolina. Topographic detail and tribal locations were impressive to the Carolina General Assembly, affirming Squirrel King's credibility as a frontiersman and asset to the British.

The map covers over seven hundred thousand square miles of territory, touching Texas and Kansas on the west and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, and reaching from the land of the mid-Florida Yamasees to the upper New York Iroquois, with the important rivers and trails in between.
