Beschreibung

This detailed map of Kentucky presents the Bluegrass State after the first quarter of the 19th century. It's insulated by rivers and the Cumberland Mountains to the southeast, and has broadly dispersed settlements connected by a number of roads and at least one proposed canal. An incomplete county configuration is delineated by bright color, applied by hand. Topography is depicted pictorially, while geographic features (note Mammoth Cave), forts, and Indian towns are individually labeled. The bottom of the sheet contains a number of paragraphs outlining the climate, geography, and infrastructure of the state. The map was designed by Fielding Lucas, Jr. and engraved by Young & Delleker. It was included as plate number 27 in the 1822 (first) edition of Carey & Lea's Complete Historical, Chronological, and Geographical American Atlas. Sheet Width (in) 22 Sheet Height (in) 17.6 Condition Description Several chips and a few areas of staining confined to the margins, well away from the image. Otherwise in very good or better condition.
