Original Steel Engraving by Samuel Mitchell, 1863. A beautifully detailed 19th-century county map of Illinois, enhanced with original hand coloring and surrounded by an ornate decorative floral border typical of high-quality atlas engravings of the period. The map clearly delineates county boundaries, railroads, rivers, and towns throughout the state, offering a rich snapshot of Illinois during a period of rapid growth and development.
At lower left, a finely rendered inset Plan of Chicago provides a fascinating close-up of the city’s early street grid along Lake Michigan, highlighting its emergence as a major transportation and commercial hub.
