Samuel Morse's invention of the telegraph had made it possible to easily observe, gather, and transmit data from different points over the entire country. A small note at the head read: "All observations made at the same moment of actual (not local) time." Released by the US Army's Signal Service, the maps were intented to be primarily used by farmers and merchants. They were published in at least three different sizes and formats, the current being one of the smaller ones. These particular maps showed precipitation and wind velocity at various elevation points.
