Founded by Cartographer Joseph Hutchins Colton (1800-1893), the firm was renamed for his sons, George Woolworth (1827-1901) and Charles B. Colton (1831-1916). Throughout the second half of the 19th century, the company was a very prominent producer of maps, atlases, guidebooks and railroad maps such as this one. Not perfect by any means but still a complete, informative, and collectable copy at a great price.
