About this Item

Framed map, visible dimensions 9.75 x 15.5 inches. An early and uncommon London-published map of Indiana and Ohio extending northward into Michigan Territory and west to the Illinois border, with a detailed insert plan of Cincinnati at lower right. Issued in 1832 this map reflects British commercial and geographic interest in the rapidly developing American Old Northwest during the canal era. Counties are delineated in original outline hand color. Roads, rivers, early towns, and internal improvement routes are carefully engraved, including the Ohio State Canal connecting Lake Erie and the Ohio River. These transportation corridors were vital to settlement and trade. The inset "Plan of Cincinnati" presents the earliest street grid along the Ohio river. Condition is very good for the period. Light, even toning consistent with age; minor handling wear. Original fold lines (as issued). Color remains attractive. Presented in later wood frame with matting. Overall, a handsome and comparatively scarce British-issued map of the Old Northwest.
