Elusive map of Maine from scarce Colton atlas

Item Details

Description

Unusual map of Maine with hand coloring down to the township level. On this map railroad lines are depicted as tiny railroad tracks. Map is dated 1855; it’s taken from a scarce copy of Colton’s 1869 General Atlas and published by G. W. and C. B. Colton. Shows canals, roads, towns, cities, rivers, lakes, islands, topography, coastal features. The 1869 Colton atlas is quite uncommon; maps from this atlas are getting scarcer and scarcer to find. This is a very nice example on sound paper with just two small and very light marks in the bottom paper margin. 12.75 x 15.75
