Great pre-Civil War RR map of Kentucky by Cowperthwait

Item Details

Description

Interesting and authentic vintage railroad map of Kentucky presenting the state surrounded by four insets: (1) Lexington; (2) Falls of Ohio; (3) view of an Ohio River area; and (4) a table of Steamboat Routes. For superior clarity, railroads are depicted in orange. 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 Cowperthwaitâ€™s 1853 New Universal Atlas. Tiny bit of foxing just above bottom right inset. Very light foxing. 11.75 x 14
