A Cool *Historical* Map of Virginia, Maryland, DC (and Delaware too!)

Here is a cool map I found of MD, VA, DC, and DE. The full title is: Map of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware Exhibiting the Post Offices, Post Roads, Canals, Rail Roads, &c. By David H. Burr. (Late Topographer to the Post Office.) Geographer to the House of Representatives of the U.S. John Arrowsmith. Entered ... July 10th, 1839, by David H. Burr ... District of Columbia.



I know the image is small, but if you go here you can see it and it enables you to zoom in and see the great detail and artistic discipline that went into creating this map.
