Drawn in 1887, this bird's-eye "perspective map" shows Tuskaloosa, Alabama, as a town seen from a high, angled viewpoint, with streets, buildings, and landscape rendered in a way a standard flat map could not. The spelling in the title is the period form of the name, now written Tuscaloosa. Tuscaloosa had been Alabama's state capital from 1826 to 1846 and was home to the University of Alabama, and it was partly burned by Union cavalry in April 1865, so a view from the late 1880s captures a town rebuilding after the war.
