New Map of the State of Wisconsin
Map
This map of Wisconsin shows counties in pink, orange, green, and yellow. Lake Michigan and Lake Superior are labeled as well as rivers and some geographical features. Neighboring parts of Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois are shown, including mineral lands in the Upper Peninsula. This map differs from later editions with the absence of a legend, and the absence of the following counties: Ozaukee, Monroe, Kewaunee, Shawano, Jackson, Trempealeau, Buffalo, Pierce, Dunn, Polk, and Douglas; railroad extends from Milwaukee only as far as Fort Atkinson. The map appeared in Mitchell's New Universal Atlas.
circa 1853
Mitchell, S. Augustus (Samuel Augustus), 1792-1868 (cartographer)
