(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.
