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. Prime meridian is greenwich.
Reference:
