This uncommon map was published in the May 1837 issue of Casket Magazine and includes the accompanying two page article. It is beautifully colored by county and boldly engraved to show towns, canals, railroads and wagon roads. The accompanying article lists 83 counties. The map was engraved by J. Yeager who also engraved many maps for Lavoisne in the same recognizable style. The Casket, published by S.C. Atkinson, was a small publication with only 1500 subscribers, making this map particularly uncommon. In 1840 George Rex Graham combined the Casket and Burton's Gentleman's Magazine into the Graham Magazine that became well-known for colorful engravings of women's fashions.
