"Mitchell's New Reference Atlas for the Use of Colleges, Libraries, Families, and Counting Houses, in a Series of Fifty-Six Copperplate Maps...", Mitchell, Samuel Augustus

This complete atlas contains 37 single-page maps and 3 double-page maps consisting of the world (2), Americas (20), Europe (6), Asia (3), Africa (1), Australia (1), and the ancient world (7). Of particular interest in the United States is a nice map of Texas showing county development confined to the eastern half, and a map of the western United States showing Arizona in control of the southern tip of Nevada. Following the maps are a series of geographical tables presenting population, principal lakes, rivers, and mountains, agricultural statistics and more. Published by E.H. Butler in Philadelphia. An uncommon issue that we have not seen before.
