"A New Map of the State of Virginia Exhibiting its Internal Improvements Roads Distances &c.", Desilver, Charles

This attractive map has the imprint of Charles Desilver and is filled with detail of the counties, cities, roads and railways. Delineates and names counties with engraved line and hand coloring. At top right is an inset with the detailed explanation of the "Principal Rail Road & Stage Routes through Virginia." A second inset is a city plan of Washington D.C. The map is drawn on a scale of 30 miles per inch. The legend uses different lines to differentiate between operational railroads, those in progress and those planned. Fancy titling and decorative border.
