It also identifies various roads, rivers, mountain passes, Coast Survey stations and an assortment of additional topographical details. The state seal is included above the title. Plotted on the polyconic projection by Shedd & Edson, Civil Engineers & Surveyors. Dated and copyrighted to A. J. Coolidge and engraved by G.W. Boynton.Cartographer
George Washington Boynton (fl. c. 1830 - 1850) was a Boston based cartographer and map engraver active in the first half of the 19th century. Boynton engraved and compiled maps for numerous publishers including Thomas Bradford, Nathaniel Dearborn, Daniel Adams, and S. G. Goodrich. His most significant work is most likely his engraving of various maps for Bradford's Illustrated Atlas, Geographical, Statistical, and Historical, of the United States and the Adjacent Countries and Universal Illustrated Atlas. He also engraved for the Boston Almanac. In 1835, Boynton is listed as an employee of the Boston Bewick Company, an engraving, stereotype, and printing concern based at no. 47 Court Street, Boston. Little else is known of his life. Further Details...
