    J. H. Colton & Co. 1855, Kentucky and Tennessee. Handsome in full color, about 15 by 12 1/2 inches.  A handsome map showing counties, rivers, mountains, cities, and rail. Colton's maps are particularly handsome.   The excellence and popularity of Colton's work was such that the maps were widely used and each edition contained the most "contemporary" knowledge available at that time.  Thus, these maps are wonderful historical markers for events that were taking place at that time. $150  Seldom available, so we recommend that you place your name on the waiting list for this map.

    Samuel Augustus Mitchell, c. 1860, Kentucky and Tennessee. Handsome in full color, about 10 1/2 by 13 inches. Decorative floral border, surrounds a handsome map showing counties, rivers, mountains, cities, and rail.   Mitchell's maps from this series are some of the more attractive maps from this period.  This map is enhanced with a decorative "garland" of flowers which provides a handsome border, making this an especially attractive map.  Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border to the one pictured.  Hand colored lithograph.  $150

   
    A. J. Johnson, c. 1863, Kentucky and Tennessee.  About 16 3/4 by 23 inches. Detailed early county (each differently colored) map from the civil war era showing landforms, early settlements and towns, rail and stage routes.   Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border to the one pictured.   As shown in this example the earlier editions may also include vignettes around the map.   Hand colored Lithograph.   $125 

   George Cram, 1884-1899, Kentucky and Tennessee. Outline color, about 9 by 12 1/2 inches.

Rand McNally, 1888-1911, Kentucky & Tennessee. Printed  color, about 12 1/2 by 9 1/4 inches.

(Because the size of the scanner is slightly smaller than the map, some of the border does not appear in the photograph)

Matthew Northrup's Century Atlas, 1897-1911, Kentucky. Printed color, about 10 1/2 by 15 inches. A very fine "modern" looking map with a "piano key" border.
