Territories of New Mexico and Utah Second state of this very interesting map depicting the region with the largest configurations of the Utah and New Mexico territories. The Utah Territory encompasses all of today`s Nevada and extends west to the Continental Divide into present-day Colorado with Fillmore City as it`s capital. Nebraska and Kanzas Territories bound Utah on the east. New Mexico Territory includes part of southern Colorado and stretches west to include Arizona and the southern tip of present-day Nevada. Locates Fremont`s routes, proposed routes for the Pacific Railroad, the Cimarron Trail, the Oregon Route 1843, the Spanish Trail, and much more. A fine example of a very desirable map that Wheat found important enough to use as the frontis to Volume 4 of his Mapping the Transmississippi West. This is the more desirable edition with decorative borders from the large two volume atlas, dated 1855 and published in 1856-57.

[Lot of 2] Map No. 1 [and] Map No. 2 Reconnaissance and Survey of a Railway Route from Mississippi River near 35th ParallelÂ…to Pacific Ocean These are the larger maps that were included in the rare 8vo Pacific Railway atlas. They should not be confused with the same titled, smaller and much more common maps from the 4vo volume. This pair of matching maps are the result of the explorations and surveys of Lieut. A.W. Whipple and Lieut. J.C. Ives, Topographical Engineers, and A.H. Campbell, Civil Engineer. Wheat says Whipple ""had demonstrated that the route which he had surveyed was practicable for a railroad, and the Santa Fe Railroad now traverses much of it Â… This is an important map, in its two parts, and reflects great credit upon Whipple and his entire party."" The first map extends from the vicinity of Memphis and Vicksburg to the Rio Grande valley at Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Locates forts Arbuckle, Washita, Smith and numerous Indian villages. Drawn by A. Schimmelfinnig. Map No. 2 continues from Albuquerque westward to Los Angeles via Cajon Pass. Also locates forts, Indian lands, pueblos such as Zuni, and the gold and silver mines in New Mexico. Drawn by M. von Hippel. The route of the exploring parties is delineated on both with each camp site indicated. The size given is approximate for each map: together they are over 12 feet in length! These maps are uncommon and are rarely offered together. Issued folding with light offsetting, numerous short splits at fold intersections, and toning along the folds.

Air Navigation Map No. 32 (Experimental) Phoenix, Arizona to San Diego, Calif. In 1921, the United States Army Air Corps initiated a compressive evaluation of aeronautical charts in an effort to develop a standardized map for aerial navigation. Based upon this study, the Air Corps issued 63 air navigation maps covering most of the military routes in the United States. Prior to 1926, these maps were jointly compiled by the Geological Survey and U. S. Army Engineer Reproduction Plant. By 1926, the preparation of air maps shifted to the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (under the Commerce Department) with the passage of the Air Commerce Act. Maps from this point on were intended to merge the growing commercial airways system with the military network. This map covers the area from Phoenix west to San Diego and shows elevation and contours, cities and towns, rivers, roads and railroads. Airfield classifications are shown with different symbols including seaplane landings. True north and magnetic north are depicted. On a scale of 8 miles per inch. Dissected into two panels and backed in linen. A colorful example backed in linen with light toning at bottom and an ex-library stamp on verso. 42.5"" W x 10.3"" H U.S. Corps of Engineers, 1924

[Lot of 3 - Dakota Territory] This great set of maps is bound in the original ""Appendix PP. Report of a Reconnaissance of the Black Hills of Dakota, Made in the Summer of 1874, by Captain William Ludlow, Corps of Engineers"" dated April 28, 1875 from St. Paul, Minn. The disbound report contains pages 1113 to 1230 plus one plate illustrating fossils. The three maps include: A. Map of a Reconnaissance of the Black Hills, July and August 1874, With troops under command of Lt. Col. G.A. Custer, 7th Calvary, black & white (21 x 25.3"").This is Ludlow`s principle map that shows the entirety of Custer`s reconnaissance of 1874. The map extends from Old Ft. Pierre on the Missouri River to the Little Missouri Buttes and north to the Badlands and the Yellowstone River. In the summer of 1874, Custer took units of his 7th Cavalry and 2nd Infantry Companies on a now famous march from Ft. A. Lincoln into the Black Hills of the Dakotas. On this expedition, gold was discovered, which led to the Black Hills Gold Rush, then to Custer`s massacre and eventually to the tragic end of the Sioux War at Wounded Knee. This map traces Custer`s route through the region of the Black Hills with the date of each encampment. The map contains many interesting notations, such as ""Where they killed the Rees,"" ""Where the sickman was killed"" plus many comments on water, grasslands, springs, etc. The topography is nicely developed and portions of Raynold`s 1859 route is shown. Condition: Light toning on some folds with a few short splits at fold intersections. (B+) B. Map of the Black Hills from a reconnaissance by Capt. William Ludlow Corps of Engineers, black & white (23.3 x 38""). A large map drawn by Sergeant C. Becker and one of three maps resulting from Custer`s Expedition with additional geography from the maps of Warren and Raynolds. It covers the Black Hills between the Belle Fourche or North Fork of the Cheyenne River to the South Fork of the Cheyenne. Drawn on a scale of 3 miles = 1 inch. Topography is nicely developed with portions of Warren`s route of 1857 and that of Raynold`s in 1859 shown. This expedition led to a discovery of gold and the subsequent Gold Rush into the Black Hills. Condition: Light toning along the folds with several clean fold separations. (B) C. A Geological Map of the Black Hills, by Professor N. H. Winchell, To Accompany the Report of Capt. William Ludlow, U.S. Engineers, printed color (17.5 x 25""). In the summer of 1874, Custer was tasked with reconnoitering a route to Bear Butte and exploring the vicinity. Gold was discovered, leading to a major Gold Rush and an intrusion of white prospectors into the Black Hills, which are sacred to the Sioux and Cheyenne. This led to the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, and thus to the end for Custer and the 7th Cavalry. A legend in the lower left indicates eleven geological types through coloring and line and was one of three maps included in Ludlow`s report. This map locates numerous creeks and gives detail of timber and topography. Condition: Beautiful bright printed color resulting in a little offsetting with a few short splits at fold intersections.

North America XIV Florida Early and very detailed, steel engraved map of Florida that was published eleven years before statehood. The western panhandle, from Apalachicola to the Perdido River, is shown in an inset on the same scale. South Florida is virtually empty of settlement, but is bisected by a long Indian Path. A large reservation for the Seminole Indians takes in much of the interior of the peninsula and the region around Charlotte Harbor. Lake Okeechobee (here Lake Macaco) is incorrectly located, which is a common error on maps of this period because the region was largely unexplored. The first railroad was chartered three years before this map was issued, but we find no mention of it here. An early map of Florida, published by Baldwin & Cradock. There is a small spot of soiling to the right of the title and light toning along sheet edges.

[Lot of 8] Plat of the Common Field and Town Tract of Kaskaskia [and] Plat of the Claims Within the Tract Called the Grand Prairie [and] [6 Untitled Maps] This fascinating lot depicts land ownership along the banks of the Mississippi River. The tracts of land in these examples were drawn in the manner of French surveys, with long perpendicular lines to the Mississippi River (presumably allowing river access to the greatest number). Of particular interest is the Plat of the Common Field and Town Tract of Kaskaskia. In the early 18th century, Kaskasia was the French capital of Upper Louisiana due to its proximity to lead mines and its importance as a trading post. It later served as the capital of Illinois Territory and as state capital for one year (1809-1819). A large flood in 1881 caused the Mississippi River to change course, isolating Kaskaskia from the rest of Illinois and situating it as an enclave in Missouri. These maps were originally produced circa 1809 by William and Elias Rector for the General Land Office and later issued for the American State Papers (ca. 1834). The maps include: A. Plat of the Common Field and Town Tract of Kaskaskia (14.0 x 17.8"").B. Plat of the Claims Within the Tract Called the Grand Prairie (7.9 x 13.5"").C. [Untitled - Prairie du Rocher] (14.9 x 9.8"").D.

Air Navigation Map No. 23 (Experimental) Saint Louis to Kansas City, MO. In 1921, the United States Army Air Corps initiated a compressive evaluation of aeronautical charts in an effort to develop a standardized map for aerial navigation. Based upon this study, the Air Corps issued 63 air navigation maps covering most of the military routes in the United States. Prior to 1926, these maps were jointly compiled by the Geological Survey and U. S. Army Engineer Reproduction Plant. By 1926, the preparation of air maps shifted to the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (under the Commerce Department) with the passage of the Air Commerce Act. Maps from this point on were intended to merge the growing commercial airways system with the military network. This map covers the area from St. Louis west to Kansas City and shows elevation and contours, cities and towns, rivers, roads and railroads. Airfield classifications are shown with different symbols. True north and magnetic north are depicted. On a scale of 8 miles per inch. A colorful example with light toning mostly in the blank margins. Backed in linen.

Map of the State of New-York with Part of the States of Pennsylvania, New-Jersey &c. This is Lay`s rare, separately published wall map of the great Empire State. Lay first published this map of the entire state of New York in 1817, based on previous editions in 1801 and 1812 that only depicted the northern portion of the state. According to Ristow, the 1819 edition was the first revision of the map, with further editions in 1822, 1823, 1824, and 1826. The map shows the majority of Pennsylvania, extending south to Philadelphia, and includes parts of New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. The map also provides a detailed view of the Canadian border just a few years after the United States declared war on Great Britain in the War of 1812. The map shows most of Lake Erie and all of Lake Ontario with the counties of Upper Canada well shown. It delineates the St. Laurence River to St. Regis at the US/Canada boundary. There is excellent detail of county development, roads, turnpikes, courthouses, forts, mills, Indian villages, battlefields, and iron works, identified by a key at top left. The ""proposed"" routes of the Erie Canal are shown extending to the Hudson River, with construction already having begun in 1817. The eastern end of Long Island is inset in the Atlantic. County development is up-to-date for 1818, with the newly organized Tompkins county, but prior to Seneca extending south into Tompkins in 1819.Printed on 8 sheets, joined. A nice impression with original outline color that has been partially refreshed and a few printer`s creases at top left.

A Plan of the Attack of Fort Sulivan, near Charles Town in South CarolinaÂ… This rare Revolutionary War battle plan depicts a pivotal British naval assault on Fort Sullivan, near Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston was a critical location as it was the largest city and only port in the South. In the summer of 1776, the British dispatched a fleet of ships to regain the possession of Fort Sullivan from the Americans. The map shows the original positions of the British ships, along with their regiment numbers, in the upper-right corner. An inset map depicts the plan of Fort Sullivan. Behind the fort, a makeshift ""bridge of boats"" connects Sullivan`s Island with the mainland and the site of the Rebel`s camp. The British ships are illustrated near the fort along with their names and the number of guns on each.

[Untitled - Port Royal, South Carolina] This fascinating engraving depicts Port Royal Sound and the surrounding area, and is based on the discoveries of Jean Ribault, a French naval officer. In 1562, Ribault was sent to the New World to colonize portions of southeastern US. After exploring the mouth of the St. John`s River in present-day Jacksonville, Florida, Ribault and his fleet of 150 colonists headed north, finding their way to Port Royal Sound. They established a settlement on Parris Island and erected a small fort, naming it Charlesfort after the French king Charles IX. The French noted the area as being ""well wooded with oak, cedar and other types of trees"" and spotted wild turkeys and stags, which are depicted in the engraving. The explorers continued further up-river and came upon Native Indians who fled at the sight of the ship. The Indians left behind a wolf roasting on a spit, leading the French to name the point Prom. Lupi, which is marked on the engraving.This engraving first appeared in de Bry`s Grands Voyages in 1591, and was republished in Johann Ludwig Gottfried`s Historia Antipodum, a collection of voyages.
