This attractive and early map of Arkansas shows county configurations for 1845 with the newly organized Dallas County. The map names many towns, and a number of roads criss-cross the map. The number of miles between towns is helpfully noted, and at the top of the map the steam-boat routes are listed from Little Rock to New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and Fort Gibson. The map is surrounded in a decorative border.
