During this time the maps were amended and updated to include electoral information and the rapidly expanding railway network, with most counties known in at least six different states.
Fine example in fine hand colour from the first edition of 1831 without the amendments made to the plate to show the provisions of the Reform act of 1832 with the county divided into administrative units.
