Large and highly detailed pocket map that was created by J.M. Peck, John Messenger, and A.J. Mathewson. Folds into original green boards (3.7 x 5.8") with embossing and gilt title. The map contains a huge amount of information and is surrounded by a decorative border. Two large insets: "Vicinity of Alton & St. Louis" and "Vicinity of Galena, the Lead Region and part of Wisconsin and Iowa." With extensive legend, distance scales, table giving population of towns and villages, and large table discussing Public Land and Land Districts. A very nice example of this early Colton pocket map.
