    Despite the title this is really a map of Illinois issued to show the locations of several proposed canals. It is very finely engraved. Each of the early towns and settlements is shown as well. Only a few towns are in northern parts but nine appear in Cook County. At this point Wisconsin (here “Ouisconsin”) covers from the Des Moines River to Lake Michigan.

    Condition is good with some foxing and a marginal tear. Image size is approximately 18 x 13(inches),
