This uncommon map was published in the May 1837 issue of Casket Magazine. It is beautifully colored by county and boldly engraved to show towns, canals, railroads, and wagon roads. 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, which became well-known for colorful engravings of women's fashions.
