A map of the cotton kingdom and its dependencies in America. Shows dominant and subordinate cotton districts and subsidiary slave districts. Relief shown by hachures. "The data for this map are mainly derived from the United States Census of 1850." From: Frederick Law Olmsted's The Cotton Kingdom. New York: Mason Brothers, 1861..
