Alabama state 1855 Cowperthwait hand colored early map showing steamboat routes Pocomoke Sound Wood engraved half titleA New Map of Alabama with its roads & distances from place to place along the stage and steam boat routes. Published 1850 55, Phila. by Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. (This variant issue likely being 1854 5 despite the imprint at bottom stating 1850).
