DeBow's 1854 Map

In 1854, Superintendent J.D.B. DeBow produced, as part of his Statistical View of the United States (also known as the Compendium), the first map in a census publication. DeBow's map of the United States showed his delineation of the United States into four major regions, based on the major drainage systems of North America.
