A handsome state map of Minnesota, beautifully colored and showing the extensive subdivision of the state and the development of the north shore of Lake Superior. The locations of United States land offices are shown, as are the boundaries of land districts, the locations of post offices, towns and villages, and completed railroad lines and those still under construction. Several tables gives distances by railroad and steamboat lines in Minnesota, and the cartouche features an illustration of a railroad snaking its way along a river (likely the Mississippi).

Burritt and Company, who also dealt in drafting instruments and materials, mapping paper, tracing cloth, pocket compasses, town plats, and more.
