1st issue was in 1845, issued every year until 1869. This copy is uncolored and folded twice. Usually, this appeared as a pocket map. Lapham also issued, with Colton, a larger map of Milwaukee and with Van Slyck (a printer in Milwaukee) a smaller map of the city in 1854. The first map of Milwaukee listed by Karrow is an 1836 map attributed to Lapham, then the first edition of this map in 1845. Phillips' first listing is a later edition of this map in 1857.

1st edition 1849, last 1857. Shows southern part of the state. Includes a profile of the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad. The map is very detailed and large scale (6 miles = 1 inch) and is the first map we have seen that shows plank roads: several emanate from Milwaukee and Sheboygan and proceed many miles into the interior of the state. Lapham also made a map of Wisconsin in 1846 (see Streeter 3867). Full color by county and folded into patterned brown cloth covers 20x12 stamped with "Lapham's Map Of Wisconsin" in gold.

(Covers to) Wisconsin, a Sectional Map With the Most Recent Surveys, by I.A. Lapham, 1846. Scale, 10 miles to an inch. Published by P.C. Hale, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. J.H. Bufford & Cos Lithog Boston. Entered ... 1846 by P.C. Hale ... Territory of Wisconsin.

Note
First edition, with Karrow showing later editions in 1849, 1850 and 1851. Eberstadt calls this "perhaps the earliest large scale separately printed sectional map of the Territory." Copper and Lead mines are shown in the area around Mineral Point and counties are colored blue in outline. This is probably Lapham's first published state map - the map he used in his 1844 "Geographical and Topographical Description of Wisconsin" is by Morse and Breese (see our #3077). His earliest city map is the 1845 "Map of Milwaukee" engraved by Sherman and Smith (although Karrow attributes to Lapham the 1836 "City of Milwaukee" by William Burt). Backed on thin linen and folded into dark brown leather covers 14x9, with "Wisconsin." stamped in gilt on the front cover.
