Buchon, Jean Alexandre 1825 Atlas Geographique, Statistique, Historique et Chronologique des Deux Ameriques et des Iles Adjacentes... ""This very attractive atlas is from the French edition of Carey & Lea`s American Atlas. Included are 63 maps and tables of North America, South America, the United States and the West Indies. Each of the maps is surrounded by text including economic, political, social and historical data. Of particular interest are the following maps: Carte Geographique, Statistique et Historique de l`Amerique Septentrionale (14.3 x 14.0""""). The United States extends to the Pacific Ocean and reaches far north into Canada showing the boundary that becomes the Fifty-Four Forty or Fight dispute between England and the U.S. Alaska is Amerique Russe with good detail and place names along the coastal region, but a fully blank interior. Many Indian regions are noted throughout. In Texas (unnamed) only a few places are named; S. Antonio, Rancho, Matagorda, and San Saba. A bizarre mountain range diagonally crosses the Great Basin from Utah and nearly reaches the coast in the direction of San Clemente. The R. del Carmelo ou St. Phelipe, originating in L. Teguanyo ou Salo, freely runs through the Great Basin to its mouth at Monterrey. Etats-Unis d`Amerique (21.0 x 16.8""""). This map is directly derived from John Melish`s seminal map of the United States. The large Arkansas Territory takes in most of present-day Oklahoma; the new state of Missouri has a vertical western border; Michigan Territory includes most of present-day eastern Wisconsin; and the Northwest Territory takes in present day Wisconsin and Minnesota. The balance of the Midwest is included in the Territoire d`Oregon and is filled with information on numerous Indian tribes. The Grand Desert Americain takes in the southern plains region. Texas is a part of Mexico. Carte Geographique, Statistique et Historique du Territoire d`Arkansas (14.2 x 14.1""""). Reflecting Major Stephen H. Long`s exploratory expeditions, this is an important map of the early western territories, focusing on the large Arkansas Territory, and depicting an early western border in Missouri. The map extends to the Rocky Mountains, and the plains are labeled Grand Desert. Numerous Indian villages are shown based on information gained from the Lewis and Clark expedition, and other important exploration routes are shown. The map shows Arkansas Territory extending to include present-day Oklahoma. The western portions of the map are identical to Long`s map of 1823, also published by Carey & Lea. Carte Geographique, Statistique et Historique de Michigan (10.3 x 14.2""""). This fine early map of Michigan Territory depicts a western boundary on a line 10° 30` West Longitude from Washington, resulting in Green Bay and a strip of present-day Wisconsin being incorporated into Michigan. The Frontiere Indienne divides lower Michigan on a diagonal line. The only settlements shown are in the southeast around Detroit, and along the Saginaw River is a Nouveaux Etablissements. The initial counties of Michilimakinak, Monroe, Oakland, DeWayne and Macomb are named but not delineated. There is a road depicted from Ft. Wayne, Indiana to Mt. Clemens. The rest of the territory is virtually blank except the a few portages and Indian villages. Several battlegrounds from the War of 1812 are located by tiny flag symbols. Complete.

Text block has deckled edges."" 14.9"" W x 22.2"" H Maps and text are very good to near fine with some occasional light soiling and damp stains in the blank margins.

There are several thematic maps and diagrams interspersed throughout the text that display the geology, weather, tides, agriculture, flags and animal kingdoms of the world. The beautiful American Atlas frontispiece shows Native Americans overlooking a rapidly developing river valley. This 1864 edition is the last year with steel engraved plates, with a few of the maps featuring vignettes, and some retaining the early strap-work style borders. It also has the desirable edition of the New Military Map of the United States which shows all state and territory boundaries rather than the limits of military divisions. And it features the double-page Civil War map Vicinity of Richmond. The Southwest map is the early 1864 edition in this series of maps.

The Utah/Nevada border is now at 115°. This is a completely new plate with extensive revisions in the watershed and mountain detail and several of the earlier notations removed. The map details the U.S. Mail routes, the Emigrant roads to California, the proposed railroad route through Utah, Nevada and California, and the Pony Express trail. The double-page map of Texas shows county development mostly in eastern Texas and only the three large counties of El Paso, Presidio and Bexar in the west. The panhandle, noted as the Staked Plains (Elevated Table Land, without Wood or Water), includes a large section that is unorganized. There is nice depiction of the wagon roads, many named, with several completed railroads. The inset maps include a `Plan of Sabine Lake,` `Plan of the Northern part of Texas,` and `Plan of Galveston Bay.` The map of the Northwest shows the newly created territory of Idaho. The map of Minnesota shows the newly created region of Dakota with an undefined western boundary. Folio.

Colton, G.W. & C.B. 1872 Colton`s General Atlas, Containing One Hundred and Eighty Steel Plate Maps and Plans… Colton`s massive General Atlas, is considered by many to be the pinnacle of American cartography in the latter part of the 19th Century. There are 85 single-page and 22 double-page maps, plans and charts in all, including many highly sought-after state and regional maps such as California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico and Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia. Other important state maps featured in this atlas are the double-page editions of Kansas and Nebraska, both of which show very little development in the western reaches of each state. The atlas also features several thematic maps including brightly colored examples of National & Commercial Flags of All Nations, Mountains and Rivers and Comparative Size of Lakes and Islands. A pair of fine city plans are the single-page, uncolored versions of Environs of London and Environs of Paris. These plates were originally published in 1855, and are finely engraved, highly detailed examples that locate all major landmarks, parks, topography, train stations, rail lines and more. The plan of Paris includes a depiction of the original wall that encircled the old city. This is a beautiful example of a rarely offered atlas by one of America`s pre-eminent cartographers. Folio.
