Abstract | Print, mounted on linen. This untitled map by an unidentified author portrays North Carolina and parts of South Carolina and Virginia and shows railroads, roads, canals, and other other aspects of transportation. Counties are delineated and identified, and towns and post offices are shown. The locations of mines, mills, and other industries are noted. Topographical features are indicated. Manuscript annotations in ink reflect the creation of Clay, Mitchell, and Transylvania counties in 1861. The Western North Carolina Railroad is shown as being completed to the Tennessee line (1882) and to Murphy (1891). A map showing the route of a railroad from Knoxville to Greenville, Tennessee, appears in the lower left corner. Depths shown by stippling and contours; relief shown by hachures. |
