1st edition. The map is titled "A New Map of the United States Upon Which Are Delineated Its Vast Works Of Internal Communication, Routes Across The Continent &c Showing Also Canada and the Island of Cuba." This is the second edition of the map. The inset map of the west gives sources - Fremont, etc. Map copyright 1851. This map also appears in Lippincott's New and Complete Gazette15er of the United States in 1854 with the map dated 1853 and showing several changes from this 1852 edition, viz. Washington Territory is formed and Nebraska is shown. The text lists a large number of routes, including several to California and Oregon. Williams later did many of the maps for Mitchell's General Atlas of 1860, and this large map has the same "look." The map and the guide are much scarcer than the map and Gazetteer. Book bound in full leather 14.5x9, with title in gilt on front. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.
