   J. H. Colton, 1855, Louisiana. Colored. About 12 1/2 by 15 1/2 inches. County (each differently colored) map showing landforms, early settlements and towns, rail and stage routes. Includes a decorative border. 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. $195  Seldom available, so we recommend that you place your name on the waiting list for this map.

(The map was scanned in two passes, therefore there is a line across the image that does not appear on the actual map)

Full color, about 17 by 23 inches.  Detailed state and county map with each township differently colored, showing landforms, cities and towns, rail and stage routes.    Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border.   The earlier editions may also include vignettes around the map.   Hand colored lithograph.   $125
