An exceedingly scarce edition of this folding map showing the layout of Baltimore in great detail. It is one of the earliest chromolithographic maps published in the United States. This map points out the locations of numerous buildings, forts, hospitals, roads, railways, rivers, creeks and even locates a plot of land belonging to Johns Hopkins. Map folds into brown cloth covers (3.5 x 5.8") with gilt title on front. Also included is a 10-page guide to the city that lists public buildings, churches, schools, banks, etc.
