About the Item
This original antique map of North America is from the Blackie
Son Atlas published in 1882. Here are several points of interest about this map:
1. **Political Borders**: The map likely shows the political boundaries of countries within North America as they were recognized in 1882. This includes the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and potentially their internal divisions such as states, territories, or provinces.
2. **Cartographic Style**: As with the other maps from the Blackie
Son Atlas, this one would exhibit the cartographic style of the late 19th century, with fine detail, hachures or shading for mountainous terrain, and hand coloring.
3. **Geographic Features**: The map details geographic features such as mountain ranges, river systems, and lakes. Given the scale of exploration and settlement at the time, these features would be depicted with the best knowledge available then.
4. **Development**: The map reflects the state of development and settlement in North America, with cities and towns marked, and perhaps some areas labeled as territories or unorganized regions.
5. **Indigenous Peoples**: The map may indicate territories of indigenous peoples, though this would be through the lens of European cartographers who may not accurately represent the sovereignty or territories of these groups.
6. **Historical Context**: The map provides a snapshot of North America at a time of significant growth and change, especially in the aftermath of the American Civil War and during the period of the United States' westward expansion.
Maps like this are invaluable tools for understanding historical perspectives on geography and development. They show how borders, perceptions of geography, and the importance of certain regions have changed over time.
