Description
Highly detailed map of the District of Columbia, Eastern Maryland and Virginia, one of three maps of the Seat of War which appeared in the Dispatch Atlas, published by the Weekly Dispatch and engraved by Edward Weller in London.
This first sheet of three shows the region from the Chesapeake to Faquier, Prince Loudon and Washington Counties, centered on Washington DC and Rockville, MD. The map is remarkably detailed, which in addition to the usual roads, towns, rivers, etc., includes lighthouses, ferrys, creeks, and small villages which rarely appear on maps. The work is relatively scarce and is not listed in Stephenson.
Condition Description
Minor repair at bottom right corner and minor soiling.
