1882180Philadelphia: Bradley 1882. 21 1/4 x 14 1/4 inches. Very good condition. Detailed map of the states of Indiana and Ohio on two pages published just prior to the establishment of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The significant railroads are laid out for the reader to behold. The overall pattern reflects the great connectivity experience on the eve of the introduction of the inter-urban. Each county is designated with its appropriate color in this trip-color scheme. The hubs of connection lie within the river and lake ports along with the each states capital. The grapevine exterior neatline borders provides aa attractive presentation in this important transportation map. Bradley unknown
1882418Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell 1882. 20 1/2 x 15 inches. Very good condition. Lake Michigan bisects this cartographic production. The two states Michigan and Wisconsin bifurcate the cartographic presentation. Obviously the compiler of the map was intent on showing the common bodies of water. Lake Superior and Lake Huron are also shown The lower sections of both states show significant development. The upper sections of woodlands have limited railroad penetration. Overall this nicely presented map is not a cartographic curiosity but rather a well done transportation map. What is lacking is the tracking of major water routes within the lakes. Theis is a very decorative map. S. Augustus Mitchell unknown
1860178Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell 1860. 14 x 11 1/2 inches. Very good. W. H. Gamble. This is an attractive cartographic artifact highlighting the avenues of ante-bellum commerce. The railroads supplemented the Ohio River and Great Lakes commercial systems. Indiana and Ohio were critical components of the agricultural complex of the northern states. The Ohio River serviced the ports of the states with sugar cotton and rice. These commodities were then spread inward to points as far as New York City and Boston by the rail networks. This map will look good framed and on the wall. S. Augustus Mitchell unknown
