A large and colorful map that was completely redrawn from the previous edition that included information identifying railroads, roads, canals, army arsenals and forts. This new edition eliminates much of this information and instead focuses on the geology. A table at lower left provides an explanatory key to the colors used to indicate nine distinct geological formations. The carefully drawn map shows good geographical detail as well as the remarkable geological information. Lithographed by Julius Bien.
