Very fine & beautifully engraved map with original hand-coloring.  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 detailed map depicts Maryland with the counties named and in contrasting colors. Topographical features are shown with various land routes, water routes, islands, mountains, cities and towns identified. 

Alexandria is still shown as part of the District of Columbia (returned to Virginia in 1847). The inset, lower left, depicts the western most portion of the state. An interesting and very scarce view of the region as it existed in the 1830’s.
