"Watson's New County and Township Map of New York Showing Railroads, Stations, Distances, Post Offices, &c. &c. ", Watson, Gaylord

A large and detailed map of the state that was separately issued as a pocket map (covers not present). It is hand colored by county with a legend identifying county seats, townships, post offices, railroads (completed and under construction), and canals. Features an inset of Long Island on the same scale at bottom. Text at top gives a brief description of the state, which "surpasses every other state in aggregate population and wealth." A population table at left indicates the state's population at 4.4 million as of 1870. We found no past sales results for this map and only one example listed on OCLC (New York State Library).
