This bright, hand-colored wall map engraved by J. H. Young was the first published by former teacher S. Augustus Mitchell. It features inset maps of six cities (Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston, and New Orleans) and the North American continent, as well as population statistics, canal routes, and the relative heights of mountains and relative lengths of rivers in the United States. This map predates the Travellers Guide by a year and thus is Mitchell’s first “original” production.
