Nice map of pre-Civil War Virginia, before the separation of West Virginia in 1863. West Virginia is one of only two states formed during the Civil War; the other is Nevada. The map provides fine detail of towns, roads, canals, railways and much topographical information. At upper right are two inset maps: Richmond Henrico County, Manchester and Spring Hill; and Norfolk, Portsmouth and Gosport. All surrounded by Colton's decorative scroll border.
