Note:
1st edition 1849, last 1857. Shows southern part of the state. Includes a profile of the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad. The map is very detailed and large scale (6 miles = 1 inch) and is the first map we have seen that shows plank roads: several emanate from Milwaukee and Sheboygan and proceed many miles into the interior of the state. Lapham also made a map of Wisconsin in 1846 (see Streeter 3867). Full color by county and folded into patterned brown cloth covers 20x12 stamped with "Lapham's Map Of Wisconsin" in gold.
Reference:
Karrow 6-1732.
