Description
Lovely original hand-colored copper engraved map of Iowa with an 1850 copyright but from Mitchell's 1853 Universal Atlas. Color coded by counties. Shows all stagecoach routes active in the state at that time. Legend mentions railroad routes, canals, and other information. A wonderful and authentic antique map with Mitchell's signature decorative green border around a pink frame. Mark barely larger than a pinhead just touching outer frame at lower right; extremely tiny pinpoint mark to the left of Monona County, but not within Iowa map area.
Samuel Augustus Mitchell (1790-1860) was an American geographer born in Connecticut. He worked as an educator before turning to publishing geography textbooks and maps.
