Colton, J.H.
Note
Second edition, the first being 1853. Shows the northern Midwest from Ohio to Iowa. This is taken from Colton's large wall map titled "Colton's Map of the United States of America Including Canada and a Large Portion of Texas" (see our #4500). It is a very decorative map - there is an elaborate floral border and city views of St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Louisville, plus two vignettes of a buffalo and a deer in the upper corners. See our #5159 for the 1857 edition. Folded into stamped black leather covers 16x11 with "Map Of The Western States J.H. Colton." in gilt.

Note
The 1859 edition was published by Johnson and Browning; this edition returns to J.H. Colton as the publisher, showing that Colton took back his publishing of pocket maps from Johnson (who only seems to have had the business for 1859 and part of 1860) in late 1860. Folded into stamped red cloth covers 14.5x9 with "Colton's Township Map Of The State Of Ohio J.H. Colton." in gilt. Full color by township. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.

Note
Compared to the 1860 edition, more railroads are added, plus a small population table in the lower left. The inside front cover ad is for G. Woolworth Colton alone, without the more usual C.B. Colton. This indicates that G.W. took over the firm alone for a short period and then brought in his brother. Full color by township. Map is folded into stamped brown cloth covers 14.5x9 with "Colton's Township Map Of The State Of Ohio J.H. Colton." in gilt. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.

[Colton, J.H., Parker, Nathan H.]
Note
Large scale map of the state, showing coal, iron, lead, and plaster formations, as well as a few finished railroads in the eastern portions, and many proposed or constructing railroads extending westward. There is a list of "Railroads In Iowa" in the lower left. Although "copper" is mentioned in the title, we can find no copper formations listed or in the key. Full color by county. Folded into stamped red cloth covers 16x10.5 with "Sectional And Geological Map Of Iowa N.H. Parker." stamped in gilt.
