Beautifully crafted map from the mid-nineteenth century, dated 1850 and reissued 1854 by Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. The firm took over publication of Mitchell’s Universal Atlas in 1850, and continued producing updated maps that were some of the finest issued in the period until 1855. Map contains many topographical details, including rivers, towns, lakes and political borders. Shows the network of proposed railroad routes. Shows the shorelines of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. Cowperthwait maps are known for their depiction of transportation routes--this map is typical of that. The transportation infrastructure was extremely important at this period of increased immigration and travel. Inset shows Vicinity of the Falls of Niagara and Its Environs. Railroads shown in red, canals in blue. Also shows islands, bays, inlets and other coastal features. A nice example. 12.5 x 15.75
