Note:
This map is one of several pocket maps that Colton published as a "Railroad & Commercial Atlas of the United States..." These are probably descendants of an earlier series on the same scale that Colton published for H.V. Poor in 1860 - see Modelski North America plate 28 and Modelski 111 and 121. See also our #3940. These must have been among the largest scale regional railroad maps of the period. Full color by county, folded into stamped dark brown cloth covers 16x10 with "G. Woolworth Colton's County & Distance Railroad Map of Michigan, Wisconsin, & Minnesota. Showing every Station &c" in gilt. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.
