Hello Ebay Antique MAP Lovers! I am a 20+ year ebay seller specializing in antique and vintage items. I only pick the very best pieces for my ebay customers so please view my other listings.

THIS LISTING IS FOR...this RARE, antique 1855 J.H. Colton & Co. New York, pocket map of MINNESOTA showing the proposed Pacific RR route.  I believe the paper is vellum and it is hand colored because I can see a few places where the coloring went a slight bit out of the line.  The Pacific RR route reads "Northern Route of Pacific Railroad proposed by Gov. Stevens".  Bottom right of map reads "Entered according to an Act of Congress in the year 1855 by J.H. Colton in the Clerks Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York" These pocket maps were popular when railroads were being built across the US.  Folded up it measures 3.25 x 5 inches.  Unfolded it measures 16.5 x 13.5 inches.  As usual, I show lots of photos for you so please view all photos for a true indication of the exact condition of this RARE antique map.
