Detailed railroad map of Florida, published by Asher & Adams.
The map is colored by county, showing towns, railroads, rivers, post offices, swamps, etc. Large inset shows the tip of Florida, from Gasparilla Island and Lake Worth and down to the "Florida Reefs."
Asher & Adams' atlas was the first American atlas to focus on railroads and related details.
Asher & Adams was a New York publishing firm known for their atlases. Notably, their maps were some of the first to prominently exhibit railroad lines, even if this meant a slight reduction in topographical detail. They specialized especially in state and county maps of the United States.
