Historic Map : Burr Map of Vermont and New Hampshire, 1835, Vintage Wall Art

This attractive first edition map of Vermont and New Hampshire was issued by David H. Burr in 1835. It covers the two states in detail, noting lakes, cities, towns, river and other important topographical features with elevation rendered by hachure. Offers color-coding at the county level. Killington Peak, now a popular ski resort, is identified.

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 1835 by Thomas Illman in the Clerk's office of the District Court for the Southern District of New York'. Published by D. S. Stone in Burr's New Universal Atlas.
