Despite this 1855 map depicting only the lower peninsula of Michigan, its color, detail, and border illustration do not disappoint. Published by J.H. Colton, the map identifies common roads, towns, railroads, canals, rivers, lakes, and counties. In the top right corner, the map is noted as No. 42, specifying its page number in G.W. Colton's Atlas of the World, Vol. 1, 1855. Approximate dimensions are 17" x 24"
This 500 piece jigsaw puzzle is printed, pressed, and assembled in Lansing, Michigan!
*Disclaimer: This puzzle is hand pressed by a Michiganology team member. Therefore, each puzzle comes out differently and will not fully match the image on the puzzle's box.*
