This rare map of New Hampshire is divided into six counties and numerous townships, including an area noted as "Ungranted Land." County lines are current for 1821, just prior to the organization of Merrimack in 1823. There is good detail of roads, lakes, rivers, and mountains. Lucas' General Atlas is known as one of the finest general atlases produced in the U.S. at the time, due to the high quality paper, superior engraving quality, and attractive coloring style. Engraved by B. T. Welch.
