First edition. Karrow shows a second edition in 1867. With a column of "Explanations," a diagram of townships, and a profile of the Illinois and Michigan canal. Shows an area north to Minnesota, south to Missouri, west to Dakota, and east to Lake Michigan. This is one of Blanchard's most attractive and interesting (especially the detail in early Dakota) lithographic maps. Several of his state pocket maps were taken from it (see our Iowa, #5193, and Minnesota, #4809). Full color, two separate sheets folded into cloth covers 16x11 with "Blanchard's Map Of The North Western States. Showing The Counties Towns & Rail Roads" stamped in gilt. Prime meridian is Washington D.C.
