Very fine & beautifully engraved map with original outline color.  Engraved by G. W. Boynton (owner of an engraving company in Boston 1830’s - 40’s).  From An Illustrated Atlas, Geographical, Statistical and Historical of the United States and Adjacent Countries by T.  G.  Bradford.

This map depicts Louisiana with parishes named and in outline color.  Topographical features are shown, and major cities, towns, Indian villages, marshes, waterways, railroads and islands are located.
