This is a very late edition of this map. The latest American Atlas edition we have seen is 1839. State one of the map is from 1823; state two is dated 1825 below the title, with an 1823 copyright statement at bottom left; state three has an 1833 date on both the map and the copyright; and this, state four, has an 1840 date on the map with an 1839 copyright statement at the bottom. In the upper right corner, the map has been extended beyond the neat line to show the developing areas of southern Wisconsin, around Mineral Point. Many new counties have been added in Missouri and Illinois. Proposed railroads are prominently displayed crisscrossing Illinois. Full color by county with the pocket map covers missing.
