Geographical, Statistical, and Historical Map of Arkansas Territory For this commercial atlas version of the seminal Stephen Long report map, Carey & Lea chose a single sheet format at a reduced scale with the political boundaries highlighted in color. It carries the cartouche title Map of Arkansas and Other Territories of the United States Respectfully inscribed to the Hon. J.C. Calhoun Secretary of War by S.H. Long Major T. Engineers and appears on a full folio sheet with text measuring 20.5 x 16.6"". This is one of the most important maps of the American West, which Wheat calls the ""most interesting map in this Atlas."" It covers the Missouri River Basin north to the Mandan villages and west to the Rocky Mountains. Long`s map corrected a number of geographical inaccuracies, foremost the erroneous course of the Red River. As on Long`s manuscript map the ""Highest Peak,"" James Peak, and Spanish Peaks appear and the route of his expeditions are clearly delineated. Extraneous details, including Major Long`s astronomical notations, camp site locations, and elevation profile were eliminated, and information about Arkansas and surrounding territories was added in columns framing the map at the sides. South of the Republican Fork appears the significant legend that reads ""The Great Desert is frequented by roving bands of Indians who have no fixed place of residence but roam from place to place in quest of game""; this is a change from Long`s report map, where he famously referred to the ""Great American Desert."" A note refers to ""Pawnee villages deserted in 1810,"" whereas the Long map uses the date of 1820. Salt works, Potatoe Hills, a large number of Indian villages and lands, A Broad and extensive swell of Land called by the French Coteau de Prairie, and Say`s route are located, along. Thomas Say was the expedition`s naturalist and entomologist, and is considered to be the father of American entomology. Engraved by Young & Delleker.Claims are sometimes made that this first edition (1822) Carey & Lea map preceded the publication of the Long report map based on the report`s date of 1823. However, both were actually published in 1822, making the distinction impossible to tell from date alone. Even Wheat erroneously assigns an 1823 date to the Long report map. A mystery that deserves further study. Original hand color with toning concentrated mostly along the centerfold, light offsetting, and a couple of spots in the text columns. There is a centerfold separation at bottom that does not enter the map. 14.5 W x 14.7 H Carey & Lea, 1822

Map of Oregon and Upper California from the Surveys of John Charles Fremont and Other Authorities This is the smaller version of Fremont`s highly respected map of the American West. It was published by Congress in 1850 to meet the demand for information concerning the California Gold Rush. The map covers a smaller area than his larger map of the same title, eliminating Oregon and covering California and only the western parts of present-day Arizona and Utah. The El Dorado or Gold Regions are shown on the south fork of the American River and the upper course of the Feather River. It contains Fremont`s famous topographical error, showing an east-west mountain range across the unexplored area of the Great Basin. The map was ""Drawn by Charles Preuss Under the Oder to the Senate of the United States, Washington City 1848."" Lithography by the Baltimore firm of E. Weber & Co. Issued folding, now pressed and backed in Japanese tissue to repair fold separations. There are tiny spots of foxing, primarily in bottom half of map. 19.6 W x 16.9 H Fremont/Preuss, 1848

A New Universal Atlas Containing Maps of the Various Empires, Kingdoms, States and Republics of the World... The title continues ""With a special map of each of the United States, Plans of Cities &c. Comprehended in seventy four sheets and forming a series of one hundred and twenty two Maps Plans and Sections."" This is an attractive copy of this famous and highly sought after atlas, complete with 74 hand-colored maps of the world, North America and the other continents, Oceanica, the United States and its territories, and numerous city plans. The map of Texas, first issued in 1846 by Mitchell, depicts the new state boundaries that were determined by the Compromise of 1850 with the panhandle in an inset ""Texas North of Red River"" at lower left. San Patricio occupies the south tip while Milam and Robertson are long counties that begin at the Nacogdoches-San Antonio road and arc to the northwest all the way to the Red River. The comment in the panhandle claims that the area ""as far as North Canadian Fork was explored by Le Grand in 1833, [and] it is naturally fertile, well wooded, and with a fair proportion of water"" is from Arrowsmith`s 1841 map. The impressive map of the west has Oregon extending to the Continental Divide, the huge Utah territory extending from California to Indian Territory, and New Mexico occupying all of the Southwest with a pre-Gadsden Purchase border. The double-page map of the United States features the same borders depicted in the western map, plus it has a large inset ""Gold Region of California."" The map of Minnesota features the large region of Pembina extending to the Missouri River. The frontispiece is a hand-colored, engraved diagram showing the lengths of rivers and heights of mountains. The title page includes a fine chromolithographic image titled ""First Landing of Columbus in the New World."" Folio. Hardbound, frontis, pictorial title page, table of contents, 74 hand-colored maps. Bound in original marbled paper with red leather tips and spine, and a red leather title label on front cover. This edition was published by Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. who had purchased the copyright from Samuel Augustus Mitchell in 1850. The maps, in original color, are in overall very good to near fine condition with some light toning along the sheet edges. The maps of Maine and New Hampshire/Vermont have a small rust stain in the image and the Wisconsin and Minnesota maps are trimmed to the border as issued. Some minor chips along the sheet edges of the title page have been replaced with old paper, and the top right corner of the front endpaper has been removed. Covers and spine are moderately worn and bumped. 17.3 W x 14 H Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co., 1852
