This
very large beautifully
hand coloured original
antique map of The United States of America in 1876 -
dated in the title - was published by the French publisher
and Map Seller Jean Andriveau-Goujon in Atlas
Universal.
This is a very attractive,
large 19th century map of the United States, Mexico and
the West Indies with insets of Central America, Lesser
Antilles, New York, Atlantic travel and cable routes.
The advancing and existing railway lines to the West are
of great interest.
The large Dacotah territory is shown
before its division into north and south in 1889, and
Oklahoma is named as Territoire Indien. The
overland routes to Santa Fe, Mexico and California are
noted as well as notations of native tribes and
topography. A color key at bottom identifies the
colonial possessions. The map is printed on two joined
sheets.
