Item Details
Description
Colorful and informative vintage map of Louisiana showing transportation structure of the region during the period before the Civil War. Cowperthwait maps are known for their depiction of the transportation routes of the various states, which is why they are so highly collectible. The transportation infrastructure was extremely important at this period of increased immigration and travel and the map reflects this. This type of information is clearly depicted here, including operating railroads, plus those under construction and proposed routes. Dated 1850 and reissued in Cowperthwait’s 1855 New Universal Atlas. There were two 1855 editions of Cowperthwait’s atlas that year—this is from the earlier 1855 edition published by Cowperthwait, Desilver and Butler. Shows numerous coastal details, swamps, bays, islands, towns, cities. Light water stain in margin mostly at left corner and bottom. Features signature border design present on Cowperthwait maps of this era. 11.75 x 14.5
