This is one of the few mid-19th century maps that depicts Tennessee without Kentucky. It identifies counties, county seats, roads, railroads, and canals and also shows topographical detail. Two insets flank the script title: Environs of Nashville, and Environs of Knoxville. A table lists the stops and distances along three steamboat routes: from Nashville to New Orleans, from Nashville to Pittsburgh, and from Florence to New Orleans. County configuration is circa 1845, with the recently organized Grundy County (1844), but prior to the organization of Decatur County (1845).
