This very large folding map was issued near the end of the Colton publishing firm's reign and individually colors each township in hand color, which was unusual for the time period. It depicts roads, railroads, rivers, towns and villages on a scale of 10 miles per inch. Portions of Quebec, New Brunswick and New Hampshire are also shown. Surrounded by an elegant border. Originally issued with boards which are not present.
