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. Ex-library stamp on verso. 38.4"" W x 10.3"" H U.S. Corps of Engineers, 1923

Natural History of New York. Geology of New York. Part I This large and informative book is the report of the survey for the First Geological District and contains 46 beautiful lithographic plates (39 hand colored) at the back of the report with 653 pp. of text and an appendix describing the plates. The 1st Geological District comprises twenty-one counties in southeastern New York, and extends from the north end of Washington county between Lakes Champlain and George, southwesterly to the Susquehannah River; so as to include the counties of Washington, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Delaware, and all east and south of this line. The geology and economic deposits of counties encompassed by this area are all described in the report. The report devotes considerable space to a discussion of stratigraphy and glacial drift. Although Mather did not accept Agassiz`s ice sheet glacial theory (he adopted an iceberg interpretation), his data on erratic boulders and other glacial features was so complete that later geologists were able use this information to reconstruct the backbone of Long Island as the terminal moraine of a great continental ice sheet. The report contains classic views of New York features (Saratoga Springs and Howe`s Cave), many early drawings of fossils, and numerous plates showing geological and topographical features, cross-sections, profiles, and maps, most in color. The volume is complete with all plates and the large folding geological map is present. Quarto, hardbound in original brown cloth with fossil graphic on front cover. Bound into the book is Mather`s large folding Geological Map of Long & Staten Islands... ( 50 x 22.5"") that was based on the surveys of J. Calvin Smith.

A Plan of the Attack of Fort Sulivan, near Charles Town in South Carolina… 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 forts are prominently featured, and nine inch circles delineate the range of their guns. Fort Sumter, with smaller guns, uses six inch lines to show their range. Issued folding with light offsetting, a tiny 0.25"" binding tear at left closed on verso with archival tape, and a few small damp stains mostly in the top blank margin. 17.5"" W x 22.5"" H Bowen & Co., John T. 1860

Tennassee A charming second state of this early American-produced copper engraved map. The central area, called ""Mero"", is comprised of Tennassee, Davidson and Sumner Counties. This district also locates the ""S. Boundary Military Reservation."" Fort Massac is shown on the Ohio River, and there is a note describing the way to Pensacola as being ""nearly level"" near Knoxville. The map includes a portion of the adjoining states of Kentucky and Georgia. There is minor soiling, a small printer`s smudge near the right border, and an edge tear that just passes the neatline at bottom closed on verso with archival material. 6"" W x 7.5"" H Scott, Joseph 1800

Battlefields in Front of Nashville where the United States Forces Commanded by Major General Geo. H. Thomas Defeated and Routed the Rebel Army under General Hood December 15th & 16th 1864 This fine Civil War map is dated 1864 but was published in the Chief Engineer`s report of 1866. Nashville is along the Cumberland River at left and the map extends about eight miles to the east. It details the Union and Rebel positions, which radiate from Nashville in arcs, with red and blue overprinting. Shows roads, watershed and terrain in hachure. The position of a gunboat is shown in the river. The coat-of-arms for the Army Corps of Engineers is beside the title. This map is plate No. 4 from the report and is drawn on the close scale of 1.5 inches to one mile. It is an early published Civil War map; most reports and maps withheld publication until the 1890`s to allow time for the national wound to heal sufficiently for a public discussion of the conflict. One fold with toning, otherwise very good. Strong color and impression with full margins, folding as issued. 12.8"" W x 15"" H U.S. Army, 1864

Texas This important map comes from Bradford`s Comprehensive Atlas, which is the first American atlas to contain a separate map of Texas. It is based upon Stephen F. Austin’s important map and shows land grants instead of counties. There are 14 total land grants including Beales Grant, Austin & Williams Grant, and DeWitts Grant to name a few. Austins Colony is also named, but the city of Austin does not appear. The Nueces River is designated as the southwestern boundary of Texas with the ""Mustang or Wild Horse Desert"" spanning the region between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers. The map is marked page 64.A., and is accompanied by two pages of text marked 64.B and 64.C. describing the physical features, and also points out that Texas is ""at present engaged in an arduous struggle for independence."" Later editions only include one page of descriptive text. A clean and bright example with original outline color. 8.9"" W x 10.4"" H Bradford, Thomas Gamaliel 1835

Texas This rare map of Texas was issued in Edward Stiff`s The Texan Emigrant: Being a Narration of the Adventures of the Author in Texas and was intended as a guide for people who planned to settle in Texas. Howes calls it ""one of the most objective accounts of Texas affairs issued in the days of the Republic."" The map itself is similar to those issued by William Hooker several years earlier but with fewer details. Texas is shown in its smaller Republic configuration with the Nueces River designated as the southwestern boundary of Texas. Fourteen land grants are named including Beales Grant, Austin & Williams Grant, and DeWitts Grant to name just a few. Austins Colony locates many settlements including San Felipe de Austin, Houston, Columbus and Montgomery. Engraved by Doolittle & Munson and published by George Conclin in Cincinnati. An important map rarely seen on the market. Issued folding and now flattened and backed with linen to reinforce and repair several short fold separations and a 1.5"" binding tear at lower right. Light soiling and moderate toning. 9.4"" W x 11.4"" H 1840

Map of Texas from the Most Recent Authorities This is a very early map of the new state of Texas drawn by J.H. Young. It portrays early counties, towns, and villages and shows ""Texas North of the Red River"" in an inset at lower left. This panhandle extends north to the Green Mts., just west of Pikes or James Peak in present-day Colorado, and west to the Rio Grande River, thus incorporating Santa Fe and Taos. There is a comment taken from Arrowsmith`s 1841 map in West Texas 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."" San Patricio County occupies the south tip, while Bexar, Milam and Robertson counties take up the majority of the western region. Several early roads are depicted including the Presido Road, and Fort Alamo, mines, and the Presidios of Rio Grande, del Norte el de las Yuntas, del Paso del Norte are identified. This map was included in H.S. Tanner`s New Universal Atlas published in 1845. Original color with a small amount of color offsetting to the left of the title cartouche and light toning primarily along sheet edges. There are several knife cuts along the platemark at top (far from the image) that have been archivally repaired. 12"" W x 14.5"" H Williams, C. S. 1845

Texas Compiled from the Latest and Best Authorities According to Rumsey, this map comes from a rare 1848 reissue of Greenleaf’s 1842 Universal Atlas. Greenleaf`s earlier 1842 map of Texas, which is nearly identical to this example, was based upon Burr’s map of 1833 (which was the first to show the territorial claims that would eventually become the Republic). Texas is now part of the United States with the only update being the southern border now shown along the Rio Grande (the earlier edition conservatively had the border along the Nueces River) and the addition of San Patricio county. Development is confined to areas to the east of San Antonio and Austin, with the areas to the west void of detail except for the river system. Portions of Indian Territory, Arkansas and Louisiana are also shown. A nice impression with a few tiny edge tears and chips confined to the blank margins and minor toning along the top of the sheet. 10.7"" W x 12.8"" H Greenleaf, Jeremiah 1848

New Map of the State of Texas Compiled from J. De Cordova`s Large Map This handsome Texas map is based on an important 1849 map by Jacob de Cordova, which was the first to be drawn from General Land Office records. It shows extensive detail throughout the settled part of the state. The western third is comprised of the large unsettled areas of Presidio, El Paso, Bexar and El Llano Estacado or the Staked Plain. Cooke County in the northern part of the state is oversized and extends well into the Staked Plain. The other county development is consistent with 1855-56, indicating that this was likely published circa 1857. Railroads, forts, post offices, roads, springs, and topographical detail are all clearly indicated. Three insets show the panhandle, Galveston Bay, and Sabine Lake. Original color with light offsetting, faint scattered foxing, and toning around the sheet`s edges. There is a tiny centerfold separation in the bottom blank margin. 16.5"" W x 24.9"" H Colton, Joseph Hutchins 1855

[Lot of 2] County Map of Texas [and] Texas [on sheet with] California A. County Map of Texas, by Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr., dated 1860 (13.5 x 10.8""). One of the most attractive maps of the state of Texas, inset with a map of Galveston Bay, and Vicinity. West Texas is made up of Young Territory, Bexar Territory, El Paso and Presidio counties, and clearly shows the Llano Estacado or Staked Plain with a notation about the region being ""destitu[t]e of both wood and water."" Erath County is mistakenly identified as ""Earth"" County. The map shows trails, roads, a limited railroad system that extends only into Austin, and proposed railroads indicated by dashed lines. The map is surrounded by a fine floral border. Copyright date 1860, published circa 1864. The county development is up-to-date for 1864 as Dawson County, abolished in 1866, is included. Condition: Light toning with a narrow top margin, a faint damp stain at bottom right, and a crease at top right. B. Texas [on sheet with] California, by S.S. Cornell, dated 1856 (12.8 x 10.1""). This map was published in Cornell`s High School Geography... and shows both Texas and California on one sheet. West Texas is composed of El Paso and Presidio counties and Bexar Territory. Development is confined to the eastern portion of the state. Shows ""Laredo Road"" and ""Route to Ft. Smith."" Published by D. Appleton & Company. Condition: There are a few edge tears including one that extends 1"" into the image at left, which have been closed on verso with archival tape. See description See description 1856-60

Map of the Great Salt Lake and Adjacent Country in the Territory of Utah [on sheet with] The Great Salt Lake (Mormon) City and Surrounding Country (on an Enlarged Scale) This sheet contains two maps. The upper map covers the region from the Great Salt Lake and Lake Utah east to Vernal and the Ashley Creek area (unnamed) and Fort Bridger in the north. It shows Salt Lake City in a block plan. Also locates Ogden, but no sign of Logan. Fort Utah is on the eastern shore of Lake Utah. The lower map is centered on Salt Lake City and features much more detail. The city plan clearly shows its rectangular grid layout and wide streets. The Welsh Settlement is shown to the southwest on the other side of the Jordan River. Both maps delineate the mountains in hachure and good detail of watershed. Lithographed by Day & Son. Drawn and engraved by Edward Weller of Bloomsbury. A scarce issue, more so due to the yellow, embossed stamp on the upper left noting this map was published as a supplement to the Sunday Weekly Dispatch of July 11th, 1858. Light toning and soiling. 12.3"" W x 12"" H Weller, Edward 1858

Vermont from Actual Survey This early map of Vermont is the second edition as evidenced by ""Engraved for Carey`s American Edition of Guthrie`s Geography Improved"" above the neatline and the number 25 at upper right. It is divided into seven counties with townships shown and named. The major towns, Dartmouth College, and a fairly extensive road network is delineated. Engraved by Amos Doolittle, a New Hampshire cartographer and engraver who produced many of the best early maps of New England. This map of Vermont is a fine example of his work. A nice impression on watermarked paper with wide margins, a couple of light creases, and faint offsetting. 14.7"" W x 11.9"" H Carey, Mathew 1795

Wisconsin This map of Wisconsin Territory shows county development as it stood in 1842 with the recent formation of Richland County in the southwest from the large Crawford County, which was organized in 1818. The border with Michigan is here shown along the Montreal River to Lake Superior. Carver`s Claim and numerous Indian lands are located. Samuel Augustus Mitchell would take ownership of Tanner’s plates approximately two years later and publish it in the Universal Atlas. Original color with minor soiling, a few spots of foxing, and a short edge tear at top left that just touches the neatline and has been closed on verso with archival tape. 15.8"" W x 13.3"" H Tanner, Henry Schenck 1844

Wyoming. Compiled by Permission from Official Records in U.S. Land Office This rarely seen map was originally published in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Issued four years before statehood, it delineates only eight counties. Topography and hydrology are well developed, shows Yellowstone National Park, Shoshone Indian Reservation, towns, railroads, telegraph lines, common roads, and the areas containing coal and gypsum. In 1883 the cattle industry comprised 90% of all commerce, but the brutal winter of 1886-87 dealt a disastrous setback to this limited economy and contributed to delaying statehood. Blevins calls this ""fantastic"" map the most detailed and accurate of the period because of its scale and sources. Drawn by Frank & Fred Bond and printed by N. Peters, Photo-Lithographers, Washington, D.C. Issued folding with light toning along a few folds and two short fold separations confined to the blank margins closed on verso with archival tape. 20.5"" W x 24"" H Holt, G.L. 1883

Sketch of the Yellowstone Lake and the Valley of the Upper Yellowstone River. Route of Capt`s J.W. Barlow and D.P. Heap, Corps of Engineers, in their Reconnaissance of that Region during the Summer of 1871. This scarce map is from Barlow and Heap`s ""Letter from the Secretary of War, Accompanying an Engineering Report of a Reconnaissance of the Yellowstone River in 1871."" The captains were dispatched by Lieut. General Sheridan to investigate the reports of extraordinary phenomena in the Yellowstone region. They entered the area that would become Yellowstone National Park in July 1871 under the same military escort provided for the Hayden party. After splitting from the main group, the expedition visited Tower Falls, Mount Washburn, the lower and upper falls of the Yellowstone River, Mud Volcano, Yellowstone Lake, and numerous geyser basins. They then proceeded southward to explore the basins of the upper Snake and Yellowstone Rivers, the first detailed exploration of these areas since the 1830s. The map details the routes traveled and locates camp sites with dates. There is detailed topography, watershed and landmarks. Blevins comments that Barlow and Heaps`s ""map provides the first detail of many areas of the park as the Hayden maps based upon his 1872 survey would not be published until 1873."" An important map that should be in any Yellowstone collection. Accompanied by the complete, disbound, 43-page report. Scattered foxing with a binding tear that just passes the neatline.

Nueva Hispania Tabula Nova This is a foundation map in the cartography of the American Southwest, and a must for collectors of that region. It is an enlarged version of Gastaldi`s map of 1548 with the only notable change being the peninsular Yucatan. The legendary seven cities of Ciuola are prominently depicted and Mexico City is shown floating in a large lake. The place names along the upper Gulf Coast reveal the explorations of Pineda, Cabeza de Vaca and Moscosso. The Mississippi makes its appearance as the Rio de Spiritu Santo and the R. Tontonteanc flows in the vicinity of the Colorado River. Considered the earliest relatively obtainable map of Mexico and the American Southwest. This is the first state according to Burden.

Spanish North America The Spanish possessions in North America are the focus of this large, significant map. Especially noteworthy is the delineation of the great western river systems - particularly the Platte flowing east and south of the Rocky Mountains. The conflict between the United States and Spain at the beginning of the 19th century is vividly illustrated on this map. Spanish control of the southwest region is limited to part of Texas and a strip of land in present day New Mexico that includes Santa Fe and Albuquerque. East of that is a huge Louisiana Territory, and the country to the west is unnamed and largely Unknown Parts. A city named Texas appears near present-day Austin, within the province of St. Louis de Potosi, which is also labeled New Santander. In this edition, Pikes Peak is not named but is labeled as the Highest Peak. According to Wheat, the map originated primarily from the epic Humboldt and Pike maps and to some extent the Pinkerton and Arrowsmith maps published a few years earlier. This very handsome map names many Indian tribes and villages, with terrific early information on topography and watershed.

Texas and Part of Mexico & the United States, Showing the Route of the First Santa Fe Expedition This map shows the failed Republic of Texas expedition, under President Mirabeau Lamar, to gain jurisdiction over Sante Fe and develop trade links between Texas and New Mexico. Many enterprising Texans believed New Mexico would be interested in this relationship, but upon the party’s arrival in Sante Fe, they were met by 1,500 Mexican troops. Spared their lives, the Texan party was forced to march the 2,000 mile route to Mexico City before diplomatic measures guaranteed their release a year later. Also depicted on the map is Josiah Gregg’s route from Van Buren, Pike’s route from Ft. Smith, and the Chihuahua Trail. Published in George Kendall`s Narrative of the Texan Santa Fe Expedition.

Audience de Guadalajara Nouveau Mexique, Californie, &c. This map was first published in 1656 and introduced the so-called second Sanson model of California as an island. This depiction shows a small peninsula (Agubela de Cato) above the island, two bays along the island`s northern coast and two new place names, Tolaago and R. de Estiete. Sanson actually based this on information from the less well known map by Luke Foxe, but it was this map that influenced many other cartographers throughout the rest of the century. On the mainland there are new Indian tribes identified in the region of the R. del Norte, which flows southwest from a large inland lake. The map was re-engraved for this edition, with only very minor differences from Sanson`s map of 1657. This is the second state of the Ribbius edition, with the addition of a grid of longitude and latitude. A dark impression, issued folding, with minor printer`s ink residue and a professionally repaired tear confined to right blank margin. 8"" W x 9.4"" H Sanson, Nicolas 1700
