The city's booming population growth can be traced in the placard beneath the compass rose. The hand-coloring and numbers designate administrative wards across the city blocks. Vacant spaces are left blank, while built up areas are shaded. Also note the growing set of indexed buildings and the Baltimore and Ohio rail line running through the city."1 map hand colored; 49 x 66 cm.; Scale: ca. 1:14,00
