This 1839 "Tourist's Pocket Map of Michigan" once exhibited more than its internal improvements, roads and distances. First published by S. Augustus Mitchell in 1834, the map went through a variety changes from its original publication date to 1846. It was called a "Tourist's Pocket Map" as a result of its literal function. It could be folded into a small 12x7.5 inch booklet that could fit into any tourist's pocket.
This beautifully colored map of Michigan has now been transformed from a pocket map to puzzle for all to enjoy. Approximate dimensions are 17" x 24"
This 500 piece jigsaw puzzle is printed, pressed, and assembled in Lansing, Michigan!
