This is an 1850 James C. Sidney wall map of Dutchess County, New York, published a year after the Hudson River Railroad reached Poughkeepsie and a year before it reached Albany. The map marks a definitive moment in Dutchess County history, when the railroad opened the region - for the first time, to large-scale commerce and industry. This is, consequently, the largest and best early map of Dutchess County to appear before the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). This is moreover, an exceptional example of an early-American county map, the precursor of later town and county maps by Beers, Walling, and others. (more details)
