Note:
The copyright date is 1848 and probably the first edition was issued then or in 1849. This is the largest scale pre Civil War state map of Arkansas that we have seen, and it is highly detailed in its showing of lands owned by the U.S., the state, private grants, Seminary lands, and Salt Spring lands. It is not listed in any of the standard references. Colton did not list it in his catalog, listing instead the D.F. Shall "Railroad & Township Map of Arkansas" (see our #4506). Map is full color by county, folded into light brown patterned cloth covers 16x10 with title "Langtree's New Sectional Map Of The Sate Of Arkansas Field And Dolley Little Rock" stamped in gilt. Scarce. Prime meridian is Washington D.C.
