County Map of the States of Iowa and Missouri

Philadelphia: 1864. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative border, 14"x 11 1/2". Slight toning and aging, a little browing and staining in the margins; otherwise very good, and overall bright and clear. Maps are wrapped with acid free board, or in rigid sleeves. The Mitchell family started to produce atlases in 1846, and continued into the early 1890s. Around 1860, S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. took over, and the atlas would be called Mitchell's New General Atlas. This is very colorful version of the Iowa and Missouri map from an early installment of this atlas.
