A. Johnson's Wisconsin and Michigan, by Johnson and Ward, dated 1864 (23.4 x 17.1"). This double-page map covers both Wisconsin and Michigan with county development shown in full hand color. The map is dense with towns and cities, railroads, and rivers, although there is considerably less settlement in the northern parts of the states. The county configuration is current to 1862, as evinced by the presence of Schoolcraft County in Michigan and the name change from Bad Axe to Vernon County in Wisconsin. Notes in lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron state their elevation above sea level, average depth, and total area. Condition: There are separations along the centerfold, minor offsetting, and faint scattered foxing. In the blank margins there are a number of chips and edge tears, as well as toning. (B)

B. Lake States Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois & Indiana [on verso] Middle States New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, by William Collins, Sons & Co., circa 1880 (8.9 x 11.9").

Parts of Minnesota, Ontario, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia are also depicted. Condition: Clean and bright with light toning along the edges of the sheet. (A)
