Note:
The date has been erased on this copy, but the map otherwise corresponds to Karpinski 155 H12, which was issued in 1866. There are many changes from the 1853 edition (see our copy) including new towns, railroads, county boundaries, etc. The western edge of the map is trimmed without neat line in the same manner as the 1853 edition, so we assume this was how it was issued. Full color. Map is folded into textured dark green cloth covers 15x10 with "Farmer's Sectional Map of Michigan For Settlers & Land Dealers With Roads, Rail Roads, Cities Towns &c." stamped in gilt. Prime meridian is Greenwich.
