Date estimated. Colored humorous map of the United States. Relief shown pictorially. New England is shown oversized relative to the entire country, and the eastern half of Massachusetts, including Boston and Cape Cod, are drawn at even larger proportions. The importance of Cape Cod is emphasized by the inclusion of an image of a codfish over the cartouche. The Midwest labeled “Western Prairies” and “Texas,” and a few cities clustered around Great Lakes and Mississippi River. The cities of Omaha, Denver, Reno and Houston are placed near the Pacific Coast into California. The Mid Atlantic and South are also blank except for Florida and a few major cities such as Philadelphia, Washington, Richmond and Palm Beach. An inset map of “Boston and Environs” shows various actual suburbs. Includes list of universities and texts.
