1846 Mitchell hand-colored map of North Carolina. Features an inset of the Gold Region. Clean and highly collectible map of the Tar Heel state. When matted and framed this map will become a lovely, cherished specimen of wall art that is actually a piece of history. Early Mitchell maps are becoming increasingly harder to acquire, especially such a nice example. The earliest Mitchell atlas was published in 1846—this map, although it does have the 1846 date, was published just two years later in 1848. Today, any Mitchell atlas prior to 1850 is highly sought after. Full title is “A New Map of Nth. Carolina with its Canals, Roads & Distances from place to place, along the Stage & Steam Boat Routes. Includes Table of Distances and a Profile of the Dismal Swamp Canal. Great print with vivid hand-color. Tiny repaired edge tear. Very light toning in margin. 11.5 x 14 inches.

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.
