Alabama state 1855 Cowperthwait hand colored early map showing steamboat routes Pocomoke Sound this old printed leaf isA New Map of Alabama with its roads & distances from place to place along the stage and steam boat routes. Published 1850 55, Phila. by Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. (This variant issue likely being 1854 5 despite the imprint at bottom stating 1850). There are several variants of this map which all display the same 1850 imprint but were released across years within atlases having later title page dates. Fascinating mid 19th century (engraved)
