Streets are named and locations of selected buildings are noted. Scale: 8 in. = 1 English mile. A very early railroad map with excellent detail along the route and within the cities. It is interesting to note that this railway operated as an "Atmospheric" railway between 1844 to 1854 which worked on a compressed air system. A scarce matched pair of maps.
