Extra light edge toning at side margins. This map would prove to be a prototype for a number of maps to follow by such noted cartographers as Johnson and Gray. It is considered to be among the most desirable of all Colton atlas maps. Identifies various cities, towns, forts, rivers, rapids, fords, and an assortment of additional topographical details. An inset in the lower left quadrant details the Florida Keys. Map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define county and state boundaries.
