A fine map of the state showing counties, rivers, mountains, early railroads, major towns, and county seats with excellent detail throughout. County development is current to 1837 and prior to the additions of Greene and Roanoke counties in 1838. Not to be confused with the more common maps from the Comprehensive Atlas, this sheet is several inches larger and carries much more information. Engraved by G.W. Boynton.
