This is a fine print reproduction of a map of Mississippi, published by Joseph H. Colton out of New York in 1856. The map is color-coded by county with townships also identified and shows railroads, common roads, rivers, canals, lakes, ports, large towns, and villages of the mid-19th century.
Faithful to Colton’s distinctive style, the map features an ornate scrollwork border and finely engraved linework that captures the state during a period of rapid development and shifting regional dynamics. Mississippi’s growing rail network, reliance on river transportation, and changing county boundaries are depicted in clear detail, reflecting the state’s evolving economic landscape just before the Civil War.
