Colored print. This is plate 23 from an unidentified atlas published by Joseph Hutchens Colton. A manuscript annotation provides a date of 1865 for the map, but North Carolina is portrayed with a situation date of 1860 in that the Western North Carolina Railroad is shown as being completed to Morganton, but Alleghany County, created in 1859, is not shown. Parts of Georgia, Virginia, and Tennessee are included. The image extends beyond the neat lines. Except for page or plate numbers, this map is identical to MC.150.1865cjh1.
