Note:
This edition is not listed by Karrow, who shows editions of 1853, 1854 (see our #4985) and 1856. In order to show more of the new Kansas and Nebraska Territories, this edition widens the map and slides it west, eliminating western New York and Pennsylvania; the title is shifted from the lower right to the upper left. Many new counties are shown in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Many new completed and proposed railroads are added. Full color by county, folded into stamped red leather covers 16x10.5 with "Map Of The Western States J.H. Colton" in gilt.
