This is the first Colton pocket map of the entire state, and one of the earliest commercial pocket maps of Iowa State to be issued - Henn Williams issued their first Iowa pocket map also in 1851. Iowa became a state in 1846, but the public surveys were not extended to the western part of the state until a few years later. Folded into brown cloth covers 14x8.5 with "Township Map Of The State Of Iowa Published By J.H. Colton" in gilt. Full color. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.
