Description

Rare Early State

Scarce pre-Civil War map of Iowa, colored by counties and townships.

Shows towns, roads, mountains, rivers, railroads, lakes, etc., which appeared in Charles Morse's General Atlas of the World.

Unlike most maps in Charles Morse's Atlas which are simply updated copies of maps from Morse & Breese's North American Atlas of 1845, the map of Iowa is an entirely original production, replacing the Iowa and Wisconsin map which appeared in the 1845 work.

This is an unusual example which is overprinted to show operating and proposed railroads.  This state pre-dates the inclusion of townships in the western counties.
