This scare pocket map was designed to guide immigrants on the way west using the newly completed Erie Canal. It shows the counties in a rich, lovely outline color with detail of town, cities, rivers and lakes. County development is current as of 1828. There are two insets; "Profile of the Erie Canal" and "Map of the Hudson River." This edition does not contain a panel of descriptive text along the right side of the map found on some earlier examples. Map folds into original brown leather covers (3.3 x 5.4") with gilt-stamped title.
