He created the most comprehensive and perhaps largest 18th century map of eastern North America , known today as the Mitchell Map . First published in 1755, in conjunction with the imminent Seven Years War , the Mitchell Map was subsequently used during the Treaty of Paris 1783 to define the boundaries of the newly independent United States and remains important today for resolving border disputes.

In his spare time he studied natural history and became known as a Botany botanist . In 1745 Mitchell argued that a series of epidemics occurring in Virginia were due to unsanitary troop ships from Britain.

En route, their ship was captured by a French privateer although they were released, their belongings and Mitchell s botanical samples were confiscated and they arrived in London with only Mitchell s small fund of investments to their name.
