{"product_id":"north-carolina-crams-atlas","title":"North Carolina, Cram's Atlas","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis detailed atlas plate of North Carolina comes from George F. Cram's celebrated atlas series, published in Chicago during the late 1880s. The map presents the Tar Heel State in its post-Reconstruction configuration, with counties distinguished by soft pastel tints characteristic of Victorian chromolithographic cartography. Railroad lines crisscross the Piedmont and coastal plain, documenting the transportation infrastructure that was transforming the New South economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cartographic detail is impressive, from the barrier islands of the Outer Banks to the mountain counties shown in the supplementary inset of western North Carolina. Major cities including Raleigh, Charlotte, Wilmington, and dozens of smaller county seats are clearly marked, making this an invaluable resource for genealogists and regional historians. The graduated blue tones of the Atlantic Ocean and the careful delineation of rivers and sounds demonstrate Cram's reputation for both accuracy and aesthetic appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA handsome example of American atlas cartography from the Gilded Age, this map offers both decorative appeal and genuine historical documentation of North Carolina at a pivotal moment in its development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5\" x 13\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e George F.
