Gorgeous book of maps, Mitchell's New General Atlas was published in 1868, over 150 years old. The colorful maps depict American states and cities as well as various countries around the world. This is a large book, measuring 15.5" x 13" , and the large maps are surprisingly detailed. I was shocked to see our small town of Tionesta on the Pennsylvania map. Besides the gorgeous maps, there are pages of statistics and information in the back, including a list of all US Post Offices, census data, geographic information and more.
