Description: This beautiful and originally hand colored city plan of Cincinnati (with grape vine border) was from Mitchell s New General Atlas published by Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr. [a noted American Map publisher] in 1867 with a copyright entry date of 1866 on the map. Showing each ward [or districit] of the rapidly expanding city [and part of Newport and Convington, Kentucky] in different color, the map is very detailed [with the direction of flow of the Ohio river (with only one bridge across] indicated by an arrow] at major street level [with Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton Railway and Miami Canal] and is highly displayable. Mitchell Jr. took over this part of his father s business and started to publish this series of General Atlas in 1861 and updating and re-issuing the same atlas many times for the next 20 years or so. Thus, it is very interesting to collect them to show the progression of geographic knowledge and changing of political divide of the region.
