Vivid hand coloring makes this Civil War era map really stand out. The map, created in 1860, was used for several years in subsequent editions of Mitchell’s New General Atlas. This one is dated 1860 and is from Mitchell Jr’s 1864 edition of his New General Atlas. Railroad lines, which were the principal highways in those days, are depicted rather prominently. Shows vast swamplands and numerous forts in southern portion of Florida, as well as many forts. Fort Moultrie located in South Carolina. Fort Johnson, Fort Macon and Fort Clark are located in North Carolina. Many coastal details, such as inlets, bays, islands, keys, etc. An interesting map featuring Mitchell’s signature and distinctive border which sets Mitchell maps apart from most other map producers of the period. Mitchell maps are sought after for their fine engraving, bright coloring, and attention to detail. They are considered some of the finest maps produced during this era.
