This is a great period example of a practical travel map of the mid 19th Century. All major highways, railroad routes, and water routes, and the towns that they passed through are shown. This map includes all of the Eastern states from Maine to Maryland and adjoining parts of Ohio and Virginia. There are also two very interesting insets. Good condition though there is some age toning along edges, folds as issued with slight paper loss and browning along one section of fold running through Maryland.
