Philadelphia: Thomas, Cowperthwaite & Co., 1848. This map is from the 1848 edition of A NEW UNIVERSAL ATLAS CONTAINING MAPS OF THE VARIOUS EMPIRES. The atlas was based primarily on the H. S.

They are among the most sought-after ante-bellum maps published in the United States. This map is guaranteed to be authentic and more than 170 years old. It is in very good condition: clean and bright, with some toning. There is one tiny chip out of one corner of the sheet--far away from the image.. Original. Single Sheet. Very Good.

Original color lithographed map printed by Rand, McNally & Company, Engravers and published in HARDESTY'S HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA: SPECIAL VIRGINIA EDITION. 19 3/8 inches by 13 1/4 inches on a 21" X 14 1/2" sheet. The map depicts the Territory of Utah in its final form--large areas had been removed and ceded to Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska since Utah became a U. S. Territory in 1850. The issue of polygamy prevented statehood until it was finally granted in 1896. This map features railroads and topography and uses color to set off counties from each other. Unlike most atlas maps of the period, this map identifies most small towns. The map is guaranteed to be moe than 135 years old. The map is in about very good condition: generally clean and bright, with slight toning of paper and one faint water stain near the center-left edge of the map.. Original. Single Sheet. Very Good-.
