Colton's maps were engraved on steel plates and then transferred to lithographic stones for printing, which resulted in a high quality product. Each map was then individually hand colored. Colton's offices were at 172 William Street, New York, and Colton maps are proudly displayed in fine libraries and private collections around the world.
