"A New Map of Louisiana with Its Canals, Roads & Distances from Place to Place, Along the Stage & Steam Boat Routes", Tanner, Henry Schenck

Attractive state map showing early county configurations with good detail of cities, towns, roads, canals and railroads. Features a large inset of New Orleans with a key to important buildings. Tables at left display the distances along various steamboat routes to and from New Orleans. County development is circa 1840 with the recently organized counties of Union (1839) in the north and Calcasieu (1840) in the southwest.
