Item description from seller

Undated but references the 1880 census data for some of the material covered, which is quite extensive. The map shows all of the states from the eastern seaboard west to parts of; CO, MT, NM, TX. It appears the map was whole at one point and glued by the publisher to the rear cover board over the area which contained the larger portion of Colorado. On most maps, during that time, Oklahoma was still called 'Indian Territory'. Around 1890 this changed to 'The Oklahoma Indian Territory' and then just 'Oklahoma in 1907 when the area became a state. This multi-colored map measures approx. 36" wide x 24" tall folded into boards that are 4" x 8.25". There are 24 large ads (most are 2" x 3", few are illustrated, 19 on map side on top and bottom edges) and 200+ text listings of businesses, A-Z on the verso. Apparently this issue is just for the Boston, MA area as it is titled 'Boston Representative Business Houses' in the upper left-hand corner. Also tables and statistical statements, many regarding businesses; wages, religious afiliations, populations, Opera huoses, Places of Amusements, Ferries, etc. Several tears and very minor loss at a few fold junctions. A nice framable size for this early colored map of the US. NOTE: No copies were found on Worldcat for this map, likewise none on any retail book or map site. We did fine one dated 1886 at another retail business which had been sold. It was was dated (1886) this one is 3 years earlier in 1883, perhaps the first one by this publisher.…
