This fascinating antique map showcases the states of Wisconsin and Dakota as they were depicted in the 19th century by the esteemed publishing firm O.W. Gray & Son. Measuring 16"x20", this two-sided map offers a valuable historical perspective on the evolving geography of the American Midwest.O.W. Gray began publishing in Philadelphia and later transitioned to O.W. Gray & Son. Their "National Atlas" of the 1870s was a highly successful commercial venture, renowned for its accuracy and detailed hand-coloring, as evident in this piece. The inclusion of both Wisconsin and the Dakota Territory on a single, double-sided sheet provides a unique opportunity to compare and contrast these regions during this period of American expansion.This original antique map is a significant piece of cartographic history and would make a distinguished addition to any collection focused on the American West, Midwest, or the history of mapmaking.
