U.S. Corps of Engineers, 1925 Air Navigation Map No. 46 (Experimental) Washington, D.C. to Middletown, PA. ""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.

Hondius, Jodocus 1619 Virginiae Item et Floridae Americae Provinciarum, Nova Descriptio This stunning map was compiled from two of the most important source maps of the early colonial period: John White`s Virginia and Jacques le Moyne`s Florida. Hondius` map became the prototype map of the region for the first half of the 17th century and continued to influence the cartography of the region until the middle of the 18th century. Largely due to the enormous success of Hondius` Atlas, Le Moyne`s erroneous depiction of a large inland lake (Lacus aquae dulcis) from which the R. de May (St. John`s River) flows in a southeasterly direction was popularized. Chesapeake Bay, here called Chesepioock Sinus, and the area south towards C.S. Romano Hispanis are shown in their White delineations. The Indian villages of Paquiwok, Croatoan, and Wococon are named in the Outer Banks and several others along the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds. The map is extensively decorated with depictions of Indian villages incorporated in the title cartouche, a Floridian king and queen and Virginian natives in a canoe taken from De Bry, wildlife including a wild turkey, ships, sea monsters and a superb compass rose. French text on verso. 19.1"" W x 13.5"" H A nice impression with full original color, light overall toning, minor color offsetting, and a crease adjacent to centerfold.

Homann Heirs, 1740 D. Carolina nebst Einem Theil von Florida This map details the roads, forts, towns, and coastal shoals between the mouth of Chesapeake Bay to The South Bounds of Carolina according to the last Charter, which is in present-day Florida just south of St. Augustine. It extends inland to just west of the Apalaxy R. (Apalachicola River) and north to two battlefields of the Tuscarora War. The map was based off of Moll`s map from Atlas Minor, circa 1729. As in Moll`s map, the region of present-day Georgia is labeled Azilia for the aborted ""Margravate of Azilia"" of Sir Robert Montgomery. Seluda Desert, a remnant of the misconceptions perpetuated by John Lederer is also shown. Many of Moll`s notations throughout the map have been translated into German and Latin. Several additions have also been made, including Ebenezer of the Salzb. at the mouth of the Savannah River, and Fort Col Angile (Argyle) near the mouth of the Howgeche (Ogeechee) River. This map was one of four separate maps printed on one sheet, titled Dominia Anglorum in America Septentrionali, showing the British possessions in North America based on Moll. 10.8"" W x 8"" H Professionally remargined with old paper at top, left, and right, with neatline at left replaced in facsimile.

Lodge, John 1780 A New and Accurate Map of North Carolina, and Part of South Carolina, with the Field of Battle between Earl Cornwallis and General Gates This scarce map of the Carolinas, published during the American Revolution, is apparently based on Henry Mouzon`s 1778 foundation map of the region. It is filled with topographical notes and the locations of important plantations, court houses, meeting houses, swamps, and chapels. This map illustrates the region involved in the southern theater of the war. After General Clinton seized Charleston in May of 1780, the British began a campaign into the Carolinas in pursuit of the remnants of the Continental Army. The map illustrates the Battle of Camden in August, 1780, where the American General Gates was defeated by British General Cornwallis. Includes two pages of related text describing the conflict. 15"" W x 10.8"" H Issued folding and now flattened with faint offsetting and light soiling along a professionally repaired fold separation that enters 1"" into map at top. There are a few tiny holes at fold intersections, only visible when held to light.

Rochefoucald Liancourt, Francois Alexander 1800 Carta delle Provincie Meridionali degli Stati-Uniti This is a very uncommon Italian map of the southeastern region. The map covers the states of Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and part of Georgia. It provides a nice view of early settlements and roads, as well as the mountains, forests, and Indian villages. Between Tennessee and Georgia is a long strip of land labeled Territorio degli Stati Uniti. This land originally belonged to South Carolina but was ceded back to the United States in 1787, subject to Indian occupancy. Numerous Indian villages are shown, especially in the region of present-day Alabama. This map is from either an Italian edition of Francois la Rochefoucald Liancourt`s Travels through the United States of North America… or Carlo Botta`s Storia della Guerra dell` Independenza Degli Stati Uniti d`America. Howes does not list an Italian edition of La Rochefoucald Liancourt`s book, but this map is a copy of his map. 19"" W x 13.5"" H Issued folding with very faint printer`s ink residue and some minor edge tears, well away from image.

Towards the end of the war, the British shifted their attention towards the southern colonies, and succeeded in seizing control of several important port cities, including Savannah and Charleston. The map depicts towns, roads, rivers, mountains and important battle sites, including the Battle of Cowpens, shown at left. This map appeared in the French edition of Marshall`s Life of Washington. 10.2"" W x 14.1"" H On watermarked paper with the margin trimmed close to the neatline at left and a hint of offsetting.

Duval, Pierre 1682 La Floride While the composition of this map is based on Sanson`s famous map of 1657, Duval has given prominence to the Rio del Spiritu Sto over the other rivers flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. La Caroline is named on the R. de May, and the French claim to the region is shown as Floride Francoise. This is the third state, with Charlesford renamed Charlesfort. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson`s nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson. 4.8"" W x 3.8"" H A fine impression with attractive color on watermarked paper and light toning along the centerfold.

Aa, Pieter van der 1729 La Floride, Suivant les Nouvelles Observations… This splendid map of the southern United States was based on Delisle`s influential Carte du Mexique de la Floride of 1703.

The entire map is enclosed in a unique large picture frame-style border. 16"" W x 13.2"" H A fine impression on watermarked paper with two tiny tears in bottom blank margin, not affecting map. Small manuscript ink page number in lower right corner.

Gibson, John 1763 A Map of the New Governments, of East & West Florida This map was published in November 1763 just a few weeks after the British acquisition of Florida at the conclusion of the French and Indian War. The region was divided into two British provinces, East and West Florida. The division was along the Apalachicola River, the boundary line for the Royal Proclamation of 1763 that extended from the Ohio River to Florida along the watershed of the Appalachian and Allegheny Mountains. The Proclamation was designed to reduce confrontation between Indians and colonists by outlawing English settlement west of the line. East Florida encompassed primarily the Florida peninsula; West Florida included the Gulf Coast region from the Apalachicola River to the Mississippi River south of 31° of latitude. The map locates many settlements, swamps, and rivers. Southern Florida is split by many waterways, giving the appearance that it`s made up of numerous small islands. A large inset, Plan of the Harbour and Settlement of Pensacola, provides good detail of the Bay of Sta. Maria Galres (now Pensacola Bay) complete with soundings and a compass rose. 9.9"" W x 7.6"" H Issued folding, now pressed flat, with some faint soiling.

Le Page du Pratz, 1757 Carte de la Louisiane Colonie Francaise avec le Cours du Fleuve St. Louis, les Rivieres Adjacentes, les Nations des Naturels, les Stablissems. Franciase et les Mines ""This scarce map of the heart of French Louisiana covers the Mississippi River valley and extends from Santa Fe in the West to the Appalachian Mountains in the East. The Great Lakes, naming Forts Detroit and Niagara, are shown with numerous portages linking them to rivers flowing into the Mississippi River. The Missouri River flows from the West unimpeded by any mountains. This representation was consistent with the widely held belief that the source of the Missouri was near the source of the Rio Grande (here called Rio del Nort). Numerous forts, trading posts, Indian villages and mines are located along the rivers. Both French and Spanish forts are located near Natchitoches reflecting the conflicting claims to Texas by those two nations. West of the Mississippi is Lahontan`s Grande Riviere nearly connecting with the Belle Riviere (Beautiful River) purportedly forming the long sought Northwest Passage. In his book, Le Page du Pratz tells of an Indian (Moncacht-ape) who discovered a route to the Pacific Ocean via the Beautiful River. The Indian’s path from the Missouri to the Beautiful River is shown on the map. Le Page du Pratz, a French military engineer, resided in Louisiana in the early part of the eighteenth century. During this period he made a five-month tour of the interior of Louisiana. On his return to France he wrote this important history of Louisiana based on his own adventures combined with information from other French explorers including Bourgmont, Charlevoix and Dumont de Montigny. Thomas Jefferson owned the English edition of Le Page du Pratz’s work and used it as a reference source for his treatise on Louisiana. Meriwether Lewis took a borrowed edition on the expedition to the Pacific and made several references to the work in his journal of the expedition."" 13.5"" W x 10"" H Issued folding, now flattened on watermarked paper with minor offsetting and a few spots of foxing.

Carey & Lea, 1823 Geographical, Statistical, and Historical Map of Arkansa Territory / Map of Arkansa and other Territories of the United States For this commercial atlas version of the Stephen Long report map, Carey & Lea chose a single sheet format at a reduced scale with the political boundaries highlighted in color. 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. The geological details were retained thus qualifying the map for an affordable alternative to Long`s report-version map. Minor variations in place names, landform engravings and lettering between the atlas and Long`s map exist with the most obvious being ""Great Desert"" substituted from Long`s famous ""Great American Desert"" found on his report map. Other interesting differences exist, such as ""Pawnee villages deserted in 1810"" whereas the Long map uses the date of 1820 on the first edition, thereafter changing to 1810. This second edition Carey & Lea edition also contains minor variations in the surrounding text. Claims are sometimes made that the first edition (1822) Carey & Lea map preceded the publication of the Long report map based on a date of 1823 for the report. 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. An interesting question that deserves further study. The map itself measures 14.5 x 14.5"". Drawn by Stephen Long and engraved by Young & Delleker. 20.6"" W x 16.6"" H Fine, original hand color with light offsetting and toning along centerfold. There is an archivally repaired centerfold separation at bottom that does not enter map.

Gratiot, Charles 1837 Map Illustrating the Plan of the Defences of the Western & North-Western Frontier, as proposed by Charles Gratiot, in his report of Oct. 31, 1837 This map is from the series of maps that illustrated the factious Congressional debate over the nature of the frontier defenses in the region between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. Issued under the direction of Col. J. J. Abert by W. Hood, the map depicts the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Indian nations bordering them to the west. It shows the locations of many military forts and outposts from Ft. Jessup to Ft. Snelling with notations throughout concerning lands ceded by several Indian nations with the dates of the treaties. The threat posed by hostile Indians, whose numbers greatly exceeded those of the area`s settlers, resulted in a protracted Congressional debate concerning the defenses required along the frontier. A table at lower left notes the distances between forts and the equivalent ""days of march"" at 15 miles per day. 15"" W x 21"" H Issued folding with light soiling and several short fold separations and edge tears that just enter map border and have been closed on verso with archival tape.

""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 Kansas City, Missouri to Moline, Illinois 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.

Fremont/Preuss, 1845 Map of an Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains in the Year 1842 and to Oregon & North California in the Years 1843-44 [with] Report of The Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains… This is the large edition of the influential map which details John Charles Fremont`s epic exploration of the American West. Fremont and his traveling companion and topographer, George Carl Preuss, launched the expedition from the frontier settlement of Westport at the juncture of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers. There Fremont first met Kit Carson who signed on as guide to the expedition. Traveling across the Rocky Mountains at South Pass to the Columbia River in Oregon Territory, they then continued south along the Sierra Nevada nearly to the ""Pueblo del los Angeles"", northeast to Lake Utah and finally east to the Arkansas River. Fremont`s map and report had a profound influence on emigration to the Far West as his westward route eventually became the Oregon Trail. Wheat, who called this ""an important step forward from the earlier western maps"" devoted seven text pages to its description. The map was drawn by Charles Preuss ""whose skill in sketching topography has probably never been surpassed in this country."" There is much to study and appreciate in this rare map, but we return to Wheat for this short praise: ""To Fremont and his magnificent map of his Second Expedition all praise. This is an altogether memorable document in the cartographic history of the West, and for it alone Fremont would deserve to be remembered in history."" 51"" W x 30.5"" H Issued folding with numerous splits at fold intersections and a few resulting in small loss in blank areas of map image.

Ransom & Doolittle, 1863 A New Map of the State of California and Nevada Territory... This rare pocket map of California and Nevada Territory is an updated version of a map issued a few short months earlier by the same authors (also copied by A.L. Reed). It depicts the important mining districts that sprung up in the area along with the roads leading to them. The Reese River district shows the towns of Austin, Clifton and Jacobsville, and there are the new districts of Smoky Valley and Big Canyon to the south and Mt. Hope to the north. The acceleration of mining activity and resultant economic boom was a key factor is Nevada’s early statehood (well ahead of its neighbors Utah, New Mexico and Washington Territory). The map shows six land districts in California, delineates counties, and shows the Overland Stage Road with thirteen stations named east of Austin, Nevada (another indicator of Nevada’s growth). Utah is shown appropriately with a western border along the 115th meridian and Washington Territory is still named despite Idaho Territory being created early in that same year. Includes 4 pp. of text showing tables of routes and distances. Folds into stiff red cloth covered boards with gilt title on front cover. 21.5"" W x 26.3"" H Issued folding with several short splits at fold intersections that have all been archivally repaired, a 3"" professionally repaired tear from Sonoma to Sutter county, and minor toning where the map folds into the boards.

The map extends from Monterey, California to Cape Flattery and inland to Flathead Lake in today`s Montana. The Great Salt Lake is named Lake Bonneville. The map locates and names the Salmon, Boise, Malade, Snake, Columbia and Flat Head Rivers. Several dead-end rivers and lakes are shown in the Great Basin area including Lost River, Ashley`s Lake, Battle Lake, and the Mary or Ogden`s River. It describes the territories of the Shoshoco, Eutaw, Too-el-Iican, Skynses, Flat Head, Pends Oreilles, Wallawallah and Bannack Indians. Of navigational importance to the western immigrants are the three buttes located in the Lava Plains of Idaho. Among his discoveries, Bonneville is credited with finding the Humboldt and San Joaquin Rivers.

The entire eastern half of Oregon is unorganized with Klamath, Curry and Wasgoren (likely an editing error for Wasco) counties being the furthest east. The eastern part of the state is labeled as unexplored. Klamath County was not organized until 1882, so its appearance here is a mystery, as the decorative floral border of this edition was replaced long before 1882. 13.5"" W x 10.8"" H Map image is near fine with light toning along the sheet edges.

Hinton, John Howard 1832 Map of the State of Florida The title of this early map is misleading because in 1832 Florida was a territory and not a state. There are only a few counties designated including Monroe County taking in the entire southern tip, and Mosquito County taking in most of the east coast. Seminole Indians are shown in Central Florida and an Indian Path connects a solitary road, that terminates in the Tampa vicinity, with the east coast. A road along the east coast terminates at a town named Florida near present-day Miami. 9.8"" W x 8"" H There are a few small spots of foxing in the image, else very good.

U.S. Government, 1837 A Plat Exhibiting the State of the Surveys in the Territory of Florida This map is one of the earliest to illustrate the status of public land surveys in the Eastern Land District (east of the Suwanee River) and the Western Land District (west of the Suwanee) in the Florida Panhandle. Survey efforts south of the Indian Boundary Line (marked in red/pink) in southern Florida were largely suspended due to the guerilla warfare of the ongoing Second Seminole War. St. Augustine, Amelia Island, and Tallahassee are named. In this early edition, the supposed boundary of the Forbes Purchase is uncolored and the legend notes that its limits are undefined. From the Surveyors Office in Tallahassee by Robert Butler, Surveyor General for the Territory of Florida. A very early edition of this chart. 23"" W x 8.4"" H Issued folding with a few short fold separations confined to the blank margins that have been closed on verso with archival materials and some minor toning, mostly along the sheet`s edges and folds.
