Historic Map : Burr Map of Georgia, 1834, Vintage Wall Art

This first edition map of Georgia was issued by David S. Burr in 1834. It depicts the state in detail, noting roads, rivers, lakes and a host of other topographical features, with relief shown by hachure. Offers color-coding at the county level.

According to Ristow, although Burr is credited on the title page, he left this atlas incomplete. He was appointed as topographer to the U.S. Post Office, and of the siin xty-three maps finally included in this atlas, only completed eight. The rest of the maps were then completed by Illman and Pilbrow in Burr's style. This map was ‘Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1834 by Thomas Illman in the Clerk's office of the District Court for the Southern District of New York', but was not published until the atlas was released in 1835. Published by D. S. Stone in Burr's New Universal Atlas.
