The Story Behind the Print
This meticulously detailed map of Mississippi captures the state during a pivotal moment in American history, just as the nation grappled with westward expansion and the sectional tensions that would soon culminate in civil war. Hand-drawn by pioneering cartographers of the mid-19th century, it reveals Mississippi as surveyors and mapmakers understood it in 1850—complete with county boundaries, river systems, and settlements that defined this cotton-rich region.
The original cartography reflects the era's careful attention to waterways, particularly the mighty Mississippi River that gave the state its name. These vintage map prints showcase the meticulous craftsmanship of vintage map reproductions, preserving the delicate line work and geographic detail that made these historical cartography documents so valuable to travelers, landowners, and government officials of the time.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using premium giclée printing techniques and archival inks for lasting color stability and preservation.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.

Customer notes
From our collectors
“Brilliant service. The seller reported a delay in the frame style, a second choice was immediately substituted, (visual choices were made available), and the shipment completed without any problem. He was candid, honest, and thorough. The item is stunning! It is the focal point in the living room,”
“I absolutely LOVE this map; the quality is worth the price! We own a retail seafood company and recently renovated.
