Additional Details



While at first glance the map has the appearance of a Mitchell map from the popular Tourist series it does not mention that in title and depicts more than one state. All the maps in Mitchell's Tourist series show only one state per map. This map was first published in 1834 and is basically an improved edition of the Finley map of 1826. This edition not in Rumsey.
