Description
Beautifully crafted map from the mid-nineteenth century, dated 1850 and reissued 1853 by Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. The company took over the publication of S. Augustus Mitchell’s important Universal Atlas in 1850, and continued producing up-dated maps that were some of the best issued in the period until 1855. Map is filled with myriad topographical details, including rivers, towns, lakes and political borders. Cowperthwait maps are known for their depiction of the transportation routes of the states, and this map is typical of that distinction. The transportation infrastructure was extremely important at this period of increased immigration and travel. Inset shows Vicinity of the Falls of Niagara and Its Environs. Railroads shown in red, canals in blue. Also shows islands, bays, inlets and other coastal features. Light toning. A nice example. 12.5 x 15.75
