Note:
Map is in full color. The four insets are titled "Map Of The North-Eastern Boundary Of The United States", "Map Of the Southern Part Of Florida", "Map Of The State Of Texas", and "Map Of Oregon Territory." This is a scarce combination of the map portion only (without the separate sheet of city maps) of Mitchell's National Map and a reworking of the text portion of Mitchell's Traveller's Guide giving the routes of travel in 52 pages plus an 8 page catalogue of Mitchell's products. Unlike all other map issues we have seen, this map title does not include "Together with Maps of the Vicinities Of Thirty-Two of the Principal Cities and Towns in the Union" and thus is a unique issue of the map. Full color. The book is bound into dark green stamped covers with "Mitchell's National Map And Route Map" in gilt, and is closed with a brass clasp. On the National Map. Prime meridian is Washington D.C.
