This exceptionally handsome map depicts Virginia with the counties named and in contrasting pastel colors. Topographical features are shown with various land routes, water routes, railroads, cities and towns identified. 

Court Houses (C.H.) and the District of Columbia which includes Alexandria (returned to Virginia in 1847) are also shown.   A very interesting and very scarce view of the region as it existed in the early 19th century.
