Carl Ferdinand Weiland (1782-1847) was a German cartographer active at the Weimar Geographisches Institut, where he led the production of maps and globes in the early and mid-19th century. Weiland was trained as a military cartographer who started his career at the Geographisches Institut in the private market. Among his other works, Weiland published the German edition of Carey and Lee's American Atlas. Their edition, which has been completely re-engraved in Germany, is of superb workmanship and stands out as some of the best 19th century maps of individual US states printed outside of America.
