This restored, detailed reproduction brings out many details and landmarks, making this map a great historical reference. I have selected interesting, old graphic images for digital restoration and editing. The images were adjusted and brightened-not merely scanned-to make the images suitable for display and other purposes. Other maps and restored reproductions available.
