Publication History and Census This map was created and published by G.W. and C.B. Colton in 1871. The first edition of 'Colton's New Topographical Map of the States of Virginia' was published in 1862 under the title 'Colton's New Topographical Map of the States of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, Showing also Eastern Tennessee and Parts of Other Adjoining States' by J. H. Colton. The next edition, dated 1863, labels West Virginia (which was admitted to the Union on June 20, 1863) and marks its borders, but the title does not change, which is also the case for the 1864 edition, the last edition published by J. H. Colton. The first edition to include West Virginia in the title was published in 1866 by G. W. and C.B. Colton under the title 'Colton's New Topographical Map of the States of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, Showing Also Eastern Tennessee and Parts of Other Adjoining States.' G. W. and C. B. Colton continued publishing updated editions of this map until at least 1896.
