About this piece

Wisconsin in a color-printed county map titled "Wisconsin", from the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, published in 1888, with an inset geological map of the state. The sheet is engraved and printed in color, with each county tinted in pink, yellow, green or gray.

The state is drawn between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, with the Apostle Islands at the top of the Bayfield peninsula and the Door peninsula running into Green Bay on the lake side. The Mississippi River forms the long southwestern border against Minnesota and Iowa, and Illinois lies to the south. County names are lettered across each county, and county towns and railroads are engraved in fine lines, with a scale of statute miles at the upper left. At the upper right, the inset is titled "General Geological Map of Wisconsin" and gives a key to the formations, with the dark bands of the older rocks in the north. The volume and plate numbers are printed in the margins.

Wisconsin was admitted in 1848, and the sheet shows it with the lumber and railroad towns of the north that grew up in the decades before this edition.
