OHIO. Carey & Lea. "Geographical,
Statistical, and Historical Map of Ohio." 1823. Drawn by Lucas; engraved by Boyd.
-- Map 12 x 9½", with text at sides and below, 16½ x 21". Full color
by counties". Condition: a couple of foxing spots; short margin tear
repaired; clean and bright; very good to excellent.
Ohio was
the first state admitted from the Northwest Territory. Fifty-nine counties are
listed in the population table as opposed to 88 counties today. The state has
more than doubled in the decade up to 1820. The text makes reference to
emigrants from the east and Europe, and also to the recent extinction of Indian
titles in the northwest - said to have a "beneficial effect on the progress
of population in that quarter."

| OHIO. "Ohio." 1842. Jeremiah Greenleaf; from
A New
Universal Atlas ...; Brattleboro, VT. 11 x 12½".
Original wash color by counties. Condition: a foxing
spot in Lake Erie; slight staining in the original
margins; otherwise very good. At
the time, Ohio was forth among the states in population,
far ahead of any other trans-Appalachian state. This is
reflected in the map which illustrates a near complete
county system, a robust road network, canals, and many
towns. The Michigan-Ohio border dispute is evident in
the northwest where Lucas County is the only one in the
tier. |
