I know that is was hand lettered, but I have seen this same style on other maps. It looks similar to copperplate, but I don't think that's it. Can anyone identify the source for these lettering styles?

The serif or sans serif font? – Zach Saucier Feb 26 at 21:53

The serif could be replaced by Copper Bowles, Copperplate hand or Adorn Copperplate
The sans is trickier, but something like Revelstoke, Prequel or Davish

The larger, serifed hand is definitely someone's hand-lettered version of a Copperplate (and very nicely rendered at that) and the sans serif looks like an italic variation of one of the bauhaus style hands - I've two near matches but neither is quite perfect.
