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


Thumb, Century Atlas, Tennessee.jpg (15032 bytes)

Matthew Northrup's Century Atlas, c. 1900, Western and Eastern Tennessee. Printed color, about 15 by 10 1/2 inches. A very fine "modern" looking map with a "piano key" border. The map depicts landforms, including contours showing elevations above sea level. Includes counties, rail lines, roads, cities and towns. Tennessee is divided into eastern and western regions.   The eastern region, which is below the western region, also includes and inset of Chattanooga.   These are superb maps for accuracy and detail.  A map of choice for many collectors. $45

(The light horizontal band across the center was caused by our scanner, the map is in excellent condition)
