General Map of The United States of America... County Map of the Northeastern Portion of the United States...
This is our first encounter with this uncommon wall map which was made at the beginning of the Civil War Era and features two maps. The top map which attributed to Phelps & Watson spans from Central America to all of the U.S., and includes timely depictions of the western territories, including the "L" shaped Washington, the extended panhandle Nebraska, and the "confederate territory of Arizona". The lower map by Colton shows the United States from the southern border of Virginia, up to Canada and west to the fledgling Kansas and Dakota territories. Both maps detail the railroad lines extent and proposed, and show some roads and trails. Surrounded by a large decorative border and full of vignettes, including a view of Mount Vernon, The Capitol, amongst others.
Condition is good, has been professionally restored and rebacked with cloth. Some wear and discoloration. Image size 46.5 x 42 (inches).
