Description
Very desirable and scarce map of the United States from Samuel Augustus Mitchell’s true first edition of his New Universal Atlas, published in the early part of 1846. Contains the scarce Carey & Hart borders, shown only in the true first edition of his atlas. Depicts how the young nation had just begun to push its boundaries beyond the Mississippi River. Shows very unusual borders for Iowa and Wisconsin Territories. Although Texas had gained independence on the eve of 1846, the newly-minted state is not yet shown. West Virginia still part of Virginia and won’t be formed until the Civil War. Covers the U. S. east of the Mississippi as well as the Trans-Mississippi territories of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa. Shows major roads, railroads, towns, rivers, islands, bays and other coastal features. A nice example with excellent color and a good ink impression. Typical light toning to edges, common in early Mitchell atlases. A lovely map. 12.5 x 15.625
