(with 3 large inset maps). | Murray was a small publisher who undoubtedly got his maps from others - in this case, Tunison. The western states on this wall map are from the same plates (although slightly reduced) as the same maps in Tunison's Peerless Universal Atlas of 1885. The eastern states are from a different source than the Tunison atlas, but still probably from another larger scale Tunison wall map of the eastern U.S. The verso of this wall map has wonderful pictures, maps of the other continents, two large hemispheres, and charts. This is a very colorful production, dense with county, railroad, and topographical information. It is similar and perhaps derived from the Watson map of the same year (see our #4793). Full color by county.
