1850's Hand Made Linen Map of Allamakee County Iowa; 21x24. This map is unique in that it is hand drawn with great detail.Some details of interest are country schools, creeks and the various saw mills and grist mills of the day.It can be dated to pre 1861 because the county courthouse is shown below Lansing on the Mississippi River. In 1861 the county seat was moved and the courthouse was constructed permanently in Waukon.The colors are well preserved as this map has been stored a...way in the Garnavillo Iowa museum for many years. It would like a new home now with someone to care for it and ooh and aah over it.Proceeds from the sale will go to continued improvements in the museum.See the photos for overall condition of the map.Thanks for looking.
