This fine, early map of the state shows only 9 counties. Waldo county, formed in 1827, is not shown on the map suggesting this is from the 1826 edition. Roads, towns and settlements of the day are detailed. Beautifully engraved by Young & Delleker and colored in vivid pastel shades. Finley published his atlases between 1824 to 1834, with separate issues published in the years 1824, 26, 29, 30, 31, 33 and 1834, according to Ristow.
