Goldthwait, J.H.
Note
Important U.S. Railroad map; civil war references. Goldthwait did an early map of the Mississippi Valley in 1833 (see Karrow index), engraved for Johnson (large N.A. 1859) and Colton (County Map of N.A. 1864) and produced several beautiful railroad maps. Colton put out a later edition of this map (see Phillips 909). This map is extraordinary for its graphic clarity and elegance. Two inset maps show railroad routes in New England and the Mid West. The west is largely empty except for California where many towns are listed along with topographical features. Many lists of statistics are provided (showing population growth) as well as a list of the seceding southern states with dates of secession. Railroad routes are shown as single and double track, including the width of the gauge. Full color map, folded into textured brown cloth covers 14.5x9 with "Goldthwait's Map Of The United States & Canada" stamped in gilt. Relief shown by hachures.

Colton, G.W & C.B.
Note
Full color map showing the slave, border, and free states by green, yellow and red coloring, explained by the usual Bacon & Co. paste down slip in the lower margin. Nine inset maps show the world, various harbors and battle areas. There are also tables of population for 1850 and 1860. This was #2 in Bacon's London issue six map series of Colton maps depicting the areas of the Civil War. It is derived from a similar Colton map of 1861 (see our #2554) which itself was derived from earlier Johnson maps. Dissected into 32 sections. Folds into brown cloth covers 22x15 with "Price in Sheets 5s. In Case 9s. On Rollers 10s. Colton's Steel Plate Map Of The United States Of America, And the Canadas, Showing the boundaries of the Free, Border Slave, and Seceded States, the Census of 1860, Forts and Fortifications, Area, Exports and Imports, &c. &c." printed on a green paper label.
