About this piece

Alabama in a color-printed county map titled "Alabama", from the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, published in 1875. The sheet is engraved and printed in color, with each county tinted in pink, yellow, green, blue or gray.

The state is shown from the Tennessee line to the Gulf of Mexico, with Mobile Bay and Perdido Point at the foot of the sheet and the Mississippi and Georgia borders on the west and east. County names are lettered large, county towns and railroads are engraved in fine lines, and the river systems drawn across the state include the Tennessee in the north and the Alabama and Tombigbee in the south. Montgomery, Mobile and other towns are named, and a scale of miles and a key to county towns and railroads are given at the upper right. The volume and plate numbers appear along the top, with the page number below.

The sheet records Alabama in the first decade after Reconstruction began, with its railroads still concentrated around the river towns and the northern valley.
