J. Calvin Smith was a charter member of the American Geographical and Statistical Society. Smith's map shows township lines and state and county capitols according to the latest U.S. surveys, as well as "lands allotted to the Indian Tribes west of the Mississippi," and "various internal improvements… compiled from surveys and various other authentic sources."
First issued in 1843, the map was revised and reissued on a regular basis for nearly 20 years, with later issues by JH Colton, beginning in 1853.
