This is the second issue of this map - the first was issued in 1855 in Colton's American Atlas. This version is from the Travelling Maps series, with the date on the map. The illustration of Wheat 832 is not the 1855 issue, as stated, but a later issue (probably 1859) showing "Arizona."

Note
This is an unusual pairing of two maps normally found separately, here folded into stamped brown cloth covers 14.5x9 with "Township Map of the Western States" stamped in gilt on the front. The map of New England is the scarcer of the two - it has six vignettes in the decorative border, four of which are views of Montreal, Toronto, New York, and Boston, as well as three inset maps of Boston, New York and the railroad route from Washington to New York. The accompanying map of the mid western states was published with Smith's "Western Tourist or Emigrant's Guide" 1853 and separately (see our #2962 and #190). Both maps in full color by county. Prime meridian is Washington D.C.
