Description
English: A fine example of Samuel Augustus Mitchell’s important 1850 map of North Carolina. This map shows cities, topographical features, railways, ferries and roads with color coding at the county level. In addition to cartographic information this map is full of practical data for the traveler including notes on steam boat and ferry routes. The lower left quadrant bears a detailed inset of Charleston divided into its five goroughs: Cannon, Radcliffe, Wragg, Mazyck, and Hampstead. Important buildings, streets, wharves, and piers are also noted. Cartographically this map is based on the earlier work of Tanner though it has been updated with new information as well as Mitchell’s distinctive decorative border and color scheme.
