Each county is nicely delineated with different color. 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 year after year for the next 20 years or so [e.g., this current map is freshly engraved with much enlarged then previous ones and doubled in size with much more details].
