Forester Shows
Map 81 Yrs.
Old

Ed. Forester, well known
rancher, brought a unique map
to the Chamber of Commerce
this morning and loaned it
to Secretary Coyle ws.o has
placed it on exhibition.
The map was printed in 1882
by s. Augustus Mitchell of
Philadelphia, and is a ''map of
the roads, distances, steamboat
lines and canals of the eastern
United States.' The New Eng
land, South Atlantic and middle
west states as far as Missouri
Territory' are reproduced, to-
gether with the main arteries
of communication between the
various cities. Smaller maps in
the four corners of the map
show detailed maps of "im-
portant cities including Phila-
delphia, Charleston, South Caro-
lima, Cincinatti and Albany,
New York.
The map is in excellent state
of preservation, and the boun-
daries of the eastern states
are practically identical with
those shown on modern maps.
Changes of course can be noted
in Missouri Territory which
has been since been made into
Missouri, Arkansas and several
other states.
The strongholds of the Indian
tribes who flourished at that
time are marked in large let
ters with the names of the
tribes such as Choctaws, Che
r0kees and Creeks.
