Description
Wonderful colored and framed rare antique map of early counties of Indiana (southern) and Ohio. Indiana is not yet admitted as a state to the Union, and much of Indiana is unsettled and thus only the southern counties near the Ohio River have been established. Corydon is the center of government. Although Ohio is a state for 16 years, much of its northwest counties are not yet established. This map predates the land acquisition from Michigan, as the boundary shown is south of the Maumee River without the future port of Toledo.
Henry S. Tanner was one of America’s most distinguished map engravers during the first half of the 19th century. He had engraved many notable maps for cartographers Aaron Arrowsmith, Samuel Lewis and John Melish before producing his own. In his Geographical Memoir, Tanner claimed he had devoted nearly ten years of his life to his monumental map of North America. This "Map of North America" would serve as a foundation or master map for the next generation of significant maps of the American West.
