Charles Desilver (fl. 1856-1862) was a Philadelphia based map publisher active in the mid 19th century. He purchased the copyright for Mitchell's 'New Universal Atlas', publishing his own editions in 1856 and 1857. The maps from these editions were updated with the most recent information, especially related to roads, canals, and railways.
