A handsome map of Oneida County, New York, famous in the 1820s and ‘30s as a hotbed of religious revivalism, and vitalized by the construction of the Erie Canal. The route of the Erie Canal is shown, as are several railroad lines. The major cities of the county are outlined in color, with Rome and several others tinted a light green. Utica is shown in a large inset map measuring 17 by 27½ inches, giving much detail of the town and buildings, accompanied by an extensive business directory. Rome is also shown in an attractive inset map, with a business directory. More than thirty smaller insets show the towns of Knox Corners, Delta, Trenton Falls, Deerfield Corners, Remsen, Waterville, Durhamville, Vernon, Camden, New Hartford, and Clinton, among others. Seven engravings along the border show prominent homes and buildings in the region, including the Court House in Rome, Utica City Hall, and the residences of Stanton Park in Waterville and Gen. Lyman Curtiss in Camden.

Silas N. Beers and Frederick W. Beers were cousins and well-known mapmakers. Along with the young D. Jackson Lake, they produced several important New York county maps. This map of Oneida County is the first project on which they collaborated, under the leadership of the eminent surveyor, J.H. French. Ristow hypothesizes that French used the Oneida project as a “training ground” for the three young talented mapmakers. Not in Rumsey nor in Phillips MAPS. Scarce and quite notable.RISTOW, pp.393-94. $3850.

Not in Rumsey, who lists only one Chace map, of Cumber-land County, Maine. An exemplary New Hampshire county map.PHILLIPS MAPS, p.751. RISTOW, pp.387-88. $1750.

11. Chapman, Silas: [Minnesota]: CHAPMAN’S SEC-TIONAL MAP OF MINNESOTA. Milwaukee: Silas Chapman, 1856. Colored folding map, 29¾ x 23½ inches. Bound into original 16mo. brown cloth folder, gilt-lettered cover. Folder a bit worn and faded. Slight foxing on map. Colors on map generally bright and clean. Overall very good.

A variant state of this important Minnesota map, without priority, published in as many as five versions in 1856. Many of the counties west of St. Paul are unidentified or shown in their earlier, larger incarnations, and the region along the north shore of Lake Superior is unmapped. This edition was published by Silas Chapman himself, who produced several pocket maps of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Chapman’s maps were reproduced later by other publish-ers. While some 1856 versions of the map fail to show important geographic features shown here, such as Lake Minnetonka, the present map omits features that appear on other versions, such as the Sioux reservation in Goodhu, Wabasha, and Houston counties, indicating the present version is among the earlier states.

An attractive and boldly colored wall map of Wiscon-sin. The counties are each delineated and individually colored, though the northernmost part of the state is still made up of a few very large regions, and does not exactly resemble the current configuration of coun-ties. Several Indian reservations are shown, including those of the Menominee and Oneida, and the many railroad lines in the state are identified. Silas Chap-man produced several maps of the Midwest from the 1850s through the 1870s, including pocket and wall maps of Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Rare Confederate Pocket Map of Virginia, with Provenance to an Officer in the 3rd Georgia

14. [Civil War]: [Bucholtz, Lewis von]: MAP OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA CONTAINING THE COUNTIES, PRINCIPAL TOWNS, RAILROADS, RIVERS, CANALS & ALL OTHER INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. Rich-mond: West & Johnston, 1862. Folding lithographed pocket map, ornamental border, inset view of Richmond. Sheet size: 27½ x 37 inches. Original printed card covers. Minor candle wax stains. Very good. Provenance: David B. Langston, 3d Georgia Regiment, Company K (pencil signature).

This impressive Confederate map of Virginia was originally based upon work done by Ludwig von Bucholtz, in connection with his updating the famed Herman Boye map of Virginia in 1858. Bucholtz was hired to re-engrave the copperplates for maps of Virginia originally made by Herman Boye in 1826. The ultimate products of his work were the very large maps of Virginia called the Boye-Bucholtz maps. Using knowledge from his work on this project, Bucholtz issued his own map in 1858, lithographed & published by Ritchie & Dunnavant in Richmond. This map was vastly superior in detail and accuracy to Bucholtz’s revison of the Boye map.

In 1862, with the need of good maps of the region for use by Confederate of-ficers, Richmond publishers West & Johnson re-issued the Bucholtz-Ludwig 1858 map of Virginia, reprinted from the original stone with minor alterations (including the removal of the cartog-rapher’s name). “There are minor geographic changes from Map 1 [the original 1858 Bucholtz map] on Map 2 [the West & Johnson is-sue]. For example, on Map 2 Jerusalem in Southampton Co. has been moved a little to the northwest of its Map 1 location near the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, and the road between the two points imperfectly erased (the remaining shadow is additional evidence that the Map 1 stone was involved). Still, for the most part, Map 1 and Map 2 are the same map” (Wooldridge, The

Bucholtz-Ludwig Map of Virginia and its Successors”). A second edition of the West & Johnson issue would be published in 1864.

The map shows all of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey and includes an inset view of Capitol Square in Richmond. A chart below the view lists all the railroads with the length of each line. Interestingly, several additional routes winding from Fredericksburg to Gettysburg have been added faintly in pencil. The contemporary ownership inscription on the front pastedown reads: “D B Langston, Company K, 3rd Ga. Reg’t, Anderson’s Division.” David B. Langston reached the rank of captain of the 3rd Georgia Infantry in the Confederate army, command-ing its Company K, otherwise known as the Athens Guards. He was wounded at Chancellorsville.

“In stark contrast to the large, often colored maps pouring out of Northern presses, the Confederate imprints are few in number, modest in scale, and more often than not black and white, printed on poor paper. Long before the war was over, they weren’t being printed at all” (Wooldridge).PARRISH & WILLINGHAM 6204. SWEM 971.

Rare Field Operations Map of Mississippi

15. [Civil War]: Read, Joseph Corson: SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA SHOWING THE APPROACHES TO MOBILE. [Washington]: Coastal Survey Office, 1863. Folding map, 24 x 25½ inches, mounted in twenty-four sec-tions on linen. Original oblong 12mo. card covers with printed paper label. Contemporary ownership inscription on label. Light wear. Minor foxing and wear to map. Very good.

This rare Civil War map was created by the coast Survey office (the main cartographic arm of the Union Army) for use in the Union campaigns into the South. This copy was owned and used by Col. Joseph Corson Read, the Chief Commissary of the Army of the Cumberland.

In November 1863 the Union armies captured Chattanooga, the “Gateway to the South,” enabling them to stage a prolonged offensive into the Southern heartland. General Ulysses S. Grant moved very quickly to overwhelm the South and immediately ordered Gen. Sherman to move against Atlanta and its vital railroad supply lines, at the same time as he sent Gen. Nathaniel Banks to attack Mobile, Alabama. Joseph Corson Read (1831-89) was one of the first wave of men to take up Abraham Lincoln’s call for volunteers to put down the rebellion in April 1861. He remained continuously in the army, serving first on Gen. Jesse Reno’s staff and rising to the rank of Chief Commissary for the Army of the Cumberland, commanded by Gen. George H. Thomas. Thomas was impressed with Read, and on May 1, 1864, with the spring campaign against Atlanta imminent, Thomas named Read Chief Commissary of the Army of the Cumberland in the Field. This meant that, although Col. A.P. Porter was the Army’s overall chief, Read would serve alongside Thomas in the field and had the responsibility to supply the entire army as it moved south. During the long and arduous Atlanta campaign he was the man on the ground, making the supply side work. Read developed a close relationship with Thomas, one with both personal and professional aspects.

This map, scaled at ten miles to the inch, shows Mississippi and Alabama from Jackson to Montgomery, starting about fifty miles north of those two points and continuing south to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Rivers, roads, and rail lines, and all the towns they connect, are detailed, with waterways printed in blue. Two of the railroads, the Mobile & Pensacola, and the Mobile & Great Northern, include construction and removal dates during the war.

An important map that would have been used by the Union Army in the field, specifically by the Chief Commissary of the Army of the Cumberland.LC, CIVIL WAR MAPS 260.1. LC, RAILROAD MAPS 140. $5500.

A near fine copy.

Nell produced some of the finest maps of Colorado in the 19th century, begin-ning in the 1880s. The present map, copyrighted in 1903, is a detailed map of Colorado, with mining towns named, county seats and towns identified, and land grants and reservations shown (including the Utes in the southwest corner of the state).

Expertly restored, backed with modern linen, trimmed in burgundy cloth, on con-temporary rollers. A few creases and a bit of expected tanning. Very good.

A curious wall map, being a combination of two maps drawn by G.W. Colton and published by Phelps & Watson. The depiction of Virginia is significant on this map. Issued between the time when delegates from western Virginia declared independence from the state, but before West Virginia was admitted into the Union, it shows Virginia with its full pre-Civil War boundary. It is also noteworthy that Virginia was included at all in a map of the “northeastern United States” issued during the Civil War. The upper half shows a map of the entire United States, the southern portion of Canada, Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and the tip of Venezuela. All the territories and states of the United States are shown, and no distinction is made between Confed-erate and Union states. The lower half contains Colton’s more detailed county map of the American northeast, with Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri in the south, and Kansas and the Nebraska and Dakota territories in the west. The entire map is bordered in a grapevine motif with engravings of the U.S. capitol, Mount Vernon, Willamette Falls, Oregon, and the Connecticut River Valley in the corners, and four obelisk-shaped monuments in the vertical borders. It also includes a table of distances within the United States and internationally, as well as tables of “Square Miles and Population of the United States” and “Population of the Slave States for 1850 and 1860.” Not in Phillips’ MAPS or Wheat.RUMSEY 718. $3500.

Bound into original 16mo. brown cloth boards, stamped in blind and gilt. Advertisement for Colton & Co. laid down inside front cover. Very good.

A detailed, large-scale map of Long Island contemporary with the close of the Civil War, with an untitled inset of New York Harbor. Most noticeable is the almost entirely rural character of the island. Just one railroad runs its entire length, from Hunter’s Point to Greenpoint on the northern peninsula. There is little development as of yet in Queens. Rumsey (5073) lists only an 1863 edition, published by J.H. Colton. Not in Phillips MAPS. $5250.

21. Colton, G.W. and C.B.: MAP OF NEW YORK CITY AND COUNTY. New York: Colton & Co., [ca. 1870]. Folding pocket map, 29¾ x 42 inches, with full period color. Bound into original 16mo. brown cloth, stamped in blind and gilt. Splits on folds neatly repaired, else very good.

22. Colton, G.W. and C.B.: MAINE. New York: Published [by Colton] for Hoyt, Fogg, & Breed, Portland, Maine, 1871. Map, 12¼ x 15¾ inches, with full period color. Folding into printed self-wrappers. Minor repairs. Very good.

A folding sheet map with time tables for various Maine railroads printed on the verso. An interesting example of a Colton map that has been adapted for a special purpose. The map originally appeared in 1855 in Colton’s ATLAS OF THE WORLD. This revised edition was especially prepared for railroad use through the addition of the railroad time tables on the back. Not in Phil-lips, who lists an 1876 edition in this format published for “Hoyt, Fogg & Donham.” Not in Rumsey. $250.

Two folding maps, together measuring 54 x 74½ inches, with some period color. Bound into original brown cloth boards, stamped in blind and gilt. Slight wear at spine ends. Very good.

Not in Rumsey. $2000.

24. Colton, G.W. and C.B.: COLTON’S NEW MAP OF LONG ISLAND. New York: Colton & Co., 1882. Folding map, two sheets together measuring 30 x 62¼ inches, with full period color. Bound into original tall brown cloth boards, stamped in blind and gilt, rebacked by white paper. Splits on folds neatly repaired. Very good.

With a large inset of “Brooklyn, New York, Jersey City, Hoboken, etc.” This is probably the largest commercially published map of Long Island to date, which indicates the increasing population and importance of Long Island. Development in the eighteen years since the publication of the 1865 map has been dramatic. Explosive growth can be seen throughout Queens, especially in Jamaica and Garden City. Railroads now crisscross the island, with the Brooklyn & Montauk Railroad extending along its southern coast as far as Sag Harbor. The map was evidently first introduced in 1873. Rumsey (167) lists a 1888 edition. Not in Phillips. $4750.

Sales label on inside front cover for J.H. Colton & Co., 86 Cedar St., New York. Front board detached. Map very clean. Very good.

One of Colton’s “Railroad & Township Maps” series of the various states. The map bears the copyright date of 1852, which must have been the date of original publication. Statis-tical table giving census figures for 1840 and 1850 in upper left corner. The map was frequently updated and corrected, with several subsequent editions. Rumsey (179) lists an 1855 edition. $550.

27. Colton, J.H.: CALIFORNIA. New York: J.H. Colton, 1854. Folding color map, 13 x 17 inches. Tipped into original brown cloth folder, gilt-stamped cover. Bright and clean. With an advertisement for a Colton publication on the front pastedown of the folder. Near fine. In a half morocco and cloth box.

Identical to Colton’s 1853 map of California, save for the new date on the imprint. The map was published in two formats, the present one and that which appeared in E.S. Capon’s HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA... (Boston: John P. Jewett, 1854). It was reprinted again in 1855 for Colton’s AMERICAN ATLAS..., though with some changes and omis-sions. San Francisco is displayed in a 5 x 5-inch color inset. “This was probably the best-known map of California in the eastern states during the ‘fifties. It was republished annually for a time, with little or no change” - Wheat.WHEAT GOLD REGION 238, 254. RUMSEY 2885. STREETER SALE 2734. OCLC 8672525. $4000.

One of the finest of all 19th-century maps of Maine, first pub-lished in 1852 as a wall map and present here in the first edition pocket map of 1855. “Colton found a ready market for railroad maps in the 1850s and it is not surprising that his first map of Maine is in this category” - Thompson. Thompson identifies this map as the fourth state of Colton’s railroad map of Maine, which differs from the third state only in copyright date. The map shows fifteen (of an eventual sixteen) of Maine’s counties, and includes a brief list of the state’s population by city. A handsome copy of this important map.PHILLIPS MAPS, p.385.

A map of the Valley of Mexico, with an inset showing the route between Vera Cruz, Alvarado, and Puebla. Canals, roads, and bodies of water have been handcolored. Size would seem to indicate that this pocket edition is a slightly larger variant edition of the map discussed by Phillips and Rumsey: “Phillips at-tributes this to J.G.

A Great Rarity of Overland Guides, Incorporating the Gold Rush Regions

33. Disturnell, John: THE EMIGRANT’S GUIDE TO NEW MEXICO, CALIFORNIA, OR-EGON: GIVING THE DIFFERENT OVERLAND AND SEA ROUTES.... New York: John Disturnell, 1850. viii,[3]-80pp. plus folding map, 22 x 19½ inches. 16mo. Original cloth, front cover stamped in blind and gilt. Hinges neatly repaired. Map skillfully reinforced along fold lines, minor foxing. Very good. In a half morocco slipcase and cloth chemise.

This is the third and best edition of this critical guide to the routes to New Mex-ico, California, and Oregon, published to guide travellers to the California Gold Rush. Howell de-scribed this as one of the scarcest edi-

tions of the Disturnell GUIDE, and Streeter believed his copy to have been one of only two located examples (however, Kurutz now locates six copies). The first edition ap-peared in 1849, and the second edition was published about a month later. The first and second edition maps did not contain the descriptions of the southern routes to California, and the maps differ radically in the amount of information included. The present third edition is by far the best, no-table for containing the first printing of J. Calvin Smith’s map, incorporating the Gold Region additions in an inset map of California, and for showing the southern routes across Texas, New Mexico, and Ari-zona. “Disturnell inserted into the 1850 edition three leaves (pages iii-viii) entitled ‘California in 1850.’ This addition features descriptions of the new and thriving cities and towns ‘which have sprung into exis-tence, as if by magic, since the discovery of the extensive placers, on the tributaries of the Sacramento River in the early part of 1848” - Kurutz.

One of the earliest separate maps of Minnesota Territory, with a smattering of settlement indicated in the vicinity of Fort Snelling and the Falls of St. Anthony. Several outposts are located, including trading posts in the center of the state, and Sauk Rapids on the Mississippi River is noted as having 150 inhabitants.

First edition of a highly important pocket map of New York State. Orleans County is not yet present. A second edition, with Orleans County and dated 1825, was included in Finley’s A NEW AMERICAN ATLAS (1826). Rumsey notes that the atlas was an “attempt to compete with Tanner’s American Atlas...the cartography and engraving are equal to Tanner, although the scale and map size are smaller.” In 1831 the plates for the atlas were sold to S. Augustus Mitchell, who revised the maps and brought out a new edition that year. Mitchell continued to issue the maps sepa-rately in pocket form until about 1850. Not in Phillips.RUMSEY 2587. $750.

(Wagner-Camp 86) of a trip to Santa Fe appearing here for the first time in book form.

A lovely wall map of Saratoga County, featuring attractive engrav-ings of illustrious local mansions and inset maps of larger localities such as Saratoga Springs, Jessup’s Landing, and Schuylerville. Geil, a noted upstate surveyor, participated in numerous similar projects with a host of different publishers, specializing almost exclusively in large format, ornate county maps. Geil’s success no doubt rested on the popularity of “local mapping,” a sort of blending of detailed cartography and local scenes. A nice, large view of antebellum upstate New York. Rare.

Important Early Map of Kansas

39. [Halsell, John]: [Kansas]: SECTIONAL MAP OF THE TER-RITORY OF KANSAS. COMPILED FROM THE FIELD NOTES IN THE SURVEYOR GENERAL’S OFFICE. St. Louis: John Hal-sall, 1857. 29 x 22½ inches, handcolored, folded to 5½ x 3½ inches. Original cloth folder stamped in gilt. Most of the gilt worn away, leaving blind impression; light wear to cloth. Map with significant separations at several folds, but with no loss. About very good.

First edition, early issue. This map was published at a critical juncture in Kansas history. Kansas Territory and Nebraska Territory were created following the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, with the provision that when admitted to the Union as states they “shall be received with or without slavery,” with the decision to be voted upon. Pro-slavery and anti-slavery advocates attempted to populate the territory with their proponents. When this emigration map appeared, the unhappy, violent time known as “Bleeding Kansas” had commenced, presaging the Civil War.

Several variants of this map were published in rapid suc-cession in 1857 and 1858. This copy has a copyright state-ment indicating that it was “Entered according to Act of Congress in the Year 1856 by J.H. Colton,” and there is an advertisement for Colton’s publications on the front pastedown; the cover title is “Ream’s Sectional Map of Kansas.” Cherokee and Osage lands now have added des-ignations for the counties of Godfrey, Wilson, Dorn, and McGee; Washington, Clay, and Dickinson counties are not present, and Riley County has not yet been downsized; the Kansas Reservation is not located. “One of the first pocket maps of Kansas to be issued as a Kansas map, with detail much improved....The government surveys are much more elaborate, and excellent details of old and new counties are present” - Heaston.

This map shows the steady expansion into eastern Kansas at the time. Although showing only roughly the third of the Territory east of the principal meridian, considerable development is already taking place in the southeast quadrant along the Missouri River, with lesser development spreading out west of there along the Kansas River. Platted townships are shown, as are existing towns, roads, streams, military posts (including Fort Leavenworth, Fort Riley, etc.), and several fairly large Native American reservations and land holdings (e.g. Cherokee, Ottawa, Shawnee, etc.). The trav-eller going West is shown the “Santa Fee Road,” the “Fort Laramie Road,” etc. Kansas City, Kansas does not yet exist.KARROW 13-0558. PHILLIPS, MAPS, p.346. RUMSEY 4094.

A lovely wall map of the state of Connecticut, based on very current surveys and first issued in 1859. Richard Clark published a number of Connecticut maps in the 1850s, and no doubt drew on that knowledge in produc-ing this accomplished state map. Nine inset maps provide detailed plans of the cities of Middletown, Waterbury, Stamford, Norwalk, New London, Bridgeport, Hartford, Norwich, and New Haven. A table gives population

statistics for Connecticut’s eight counties, and for the major towns and cities in each county. Grist mills and sawmills are shown, as are railroads and common roads. The mapping of the Connecticut coastline is especially fine, giving depths for the entire stretch of Long Island Sound, and showing the several islands lying off the coast.

Ex-Essex Institute Library, with their bookplate on front pastedown, blindstamp on titlepage, and paper label on spine. Front free endpaper torn. A few text leaves wrinkled or creased, faint tideline along lower edge of text leaves. Overall, in about very good condition. In a cloth clamshell box, gilt morocco label.

One of two issues of the first edition of the “best handbook for the central route available at the time” (Howes). This is the issue with the “opinions of the press” on page 5, and the longer pagination of the main text. Hosea Horn was an Iowa lawyer who travelled the routes himself and produced this detailed overland guide, the most popular and best-known of its day. The text consists of a lengthy list of “Notable Places, Objects and Remarks” and follows the trail in a detailed, step-by-step fashion, with mileage charts, distance between places, etc. The map was executed by Colton and shows the entire central route, with all the cut-offs, marked in red. “Especial importance attaches to this work from the fact that it was one of the few guides which actually mea-sured and described much of the route traversed. Horn had personally been over all the ‘cut-offs’ and he prepared what is possibly the most exact account of the ‘Overland Trail’ which has come down to us” - Eberstadt. “One of the best of the guides, as it is one of the few where the distances were closely measured” - Streeter.WAGNER-CAMP 214.

Long split through just over half the map along one vertical fold, shorter splits along two other folds, but none of the splits resulting in any loss. Good.

Locates counties, towns, mills, villages, post offices, roads, and finished or proposed railroads. Notes printed to the left of the map explain the method adopted by the U.S. in surveying. This is an updated and improved version of the Indiana pocket maps the J.H. Colton firm had published earlier in the 1850s and 1860s. This 1869 version is not in Rumsey, nor is it listed on OCLC.

Occasional minor soiling, heavier towards top edge. Color bright and clean. Overall very good.

A spectacular view of the United States, is-sued at a time when cartographic knowledge of the trans-Mississippi West was becoming increasingly available and reliable. Ristow cites this map as worthy of mention among the scores of contemporary maps also built upon the returns of the numerous west-ern surveys undertaken between 1853 and 1857. The maps shows the entire conti-nental United States, Mexico, and Central America, with a smaller world map inserted in the lower left corner. Largest among the numerous vignettes is a detailed image of the completed Mormon temple in Salt Lake City, then under construction. The western territories are represented as best as possible to the time, making the map an attractive illustration of the country just prior to the Civil War. It is likely that Johnson adopted the western regions from a similar Union map he published in 1857.

An impressive view of the United States, frozen on the eve of war, just as western exploration was yielding enticing results.RUMSEY 4012. RISTOW, pp.456-459. WHEAT TRANSMISSISSIPPI 925, p.64 (ref). $6500.

Little Rock, Ar. [Engraved by Edwin O. Reed, Cincinnati]. 1850. Engraved folding pocket map, full period hand-coloring, printed on two sheets joined, 33 x 35½ inches. Table of references along the right side, printed attestation by the Surveyor of Public Lands in Arkansas at the lower left. Folds into publisher’s green cloth portfolio, covers decoratively stamped in blind, upper cover titled in gilt, silk ties, marbled pastedown. Fine.

The very rare first issue of the finest of all 19th-century maps of Arkansas, here in superb original condition.

This large and colorful map of Arkansas is copyrighted 1849 and is dated in the cartouche 1850. Rumsey, whose famed collection contains only an 1859 Colton reissue of Langtree’s map, writes: “It is the largest scale pre Civil War state map of Arkansas that we have seen, and it is highly detailed in its showing of lands owned by the U.S., the state, private grants, Seminary lands, and Salt Spring lands. It is not listed in any of the standard references.” The map depicts the state di-vided into fifty-one counties, with each plotted for settlement. The impressive detail includes towns, roads, post offices, prairies, swamps, lead mines, sulphur springs, and more. OCLC records only a handful of copies of the aforementioned 1859 Colton reissue and no other copies published prior to the Civil War (a later edition being published in 1866). The only other extant copy of this map appears to be in the National Archives (Special List 29, item 71, RG 77: MD 50). Not in Phillips.RUMSEY 4804 (1859 Colton reissue). $15,000.

First edition. This is an exceedingly detailed wall map in pocket format, that shows the environs of New York City on a scale of two and one-half miles to the inch. The map extends from Long Branch on the Jersey Shore in the south to Rhinebeck in the Hudson Valley in the north; and from Patchogue on Long Island in the east to Trenton, New Jersey in the west. This may be the same as Rumsey 3212 (1867), but with a differ-ent title: “An intense map of the region around New York, intensely colored and dense with information.” The map is so detailed that even blacksmith shops are located.

A variant state of this important Minnesota map, without priority, published in as many as five ver-sions in 1856. Many of the counties west of St. Paul are unidentified or shown in their earlier, larger incarnations, and the region along the north shore of Lake Superior is unmapped. This edition was published by Silas Chapman himself, who produced several pocket maps of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Chapman’s maps were reproduced later by other publishers.

Overall a very good copy, with a single straight closed tear without loss, laid into original 16mo. green cloth boards, stamped in blind and gilt.

A slightly later version of this important Minnesota map, drawn by Silas Chapman. The present incarnation, pub-lished by Dyer & Pasmore, differs from an earlier ver-sion published by Chapman himself, also in 1856. The present copy reflects the boom in Minnesota’s population and economy brought on by the lucrative logging trade. The newest western and northern counties are named and drawn, and the logging region along the north shore of Lake Superior is shown in greater detail than in an earlier state of the map.

This is one of the first productions of S. Augustus Mitchell, the most important American commer-cial map publisher in the decades preceding the Civil War. Mitchell began in business in 1831 with the purchase of the publication rights to An-thony Finley’s MAP OF THE UNITED STATES (1825) and A NEW AMERICAN ATLAS (1826). Mitchell hired J. H. Young, who had engraved Finley’s map and atlas, to compile a new reduced, revised version of the MAP OF THE UNITED STATES, which (to 1834) bore the copyright “October 10, 1831.” Although Rumsey lists two editions of the Finley map, he follows Ristow in calling Mitchell’s map an “original production.” The insets are “Map of North America includ-ing all of the Recent Geographical Discoveries” (12¼ x 14 inches); “Plans of the vicinities of Al-bany, Niagara, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston, New Orleans”; “Table of Comparative Heights of the Principal Mountains and Hills in the United States”; and “Statistical table; Index of the Counties of the United States.”

The map extends west to approximately the 95th meridian. This edition is not mentioned in Rumsey, who lists only the 1831 edition (2723); not in Phillips AMERICA, which lists 1834, 1836, and 1839 editions (pp.890, 892).RISTOW, p.309. $2750.

A very fine map of Connecticut, issued by one of the greatest American cartographers.

This very attractive map of Connecticut was printed in Mitchell’s Philadelphia workshop, which was at the time arguably the most impor-tant map publication center in America. It is directly adapted from H.S. Tanner’s 1834 map of the state, but is updated to 1846. Each of Connecticut’s eight counties are individually distinguished in full original colors, and two insets in the lower right detail the state’s most important cities - Hartford and New Haven. The state’s topography is elegantly expressed in finely lithographed detail and all major roads and rail lines are depicted. Interestingly, tables to the

upper left of the map detail the population statistics of the state and each of its counties advanced to the census of 1840.THOMPSON, MAPS OF CONNECTICUT 111, p.74. $225.

Surrounded by thirty-two small maps of individual American cities. Expertly repaired, backed with modern linen, trimmed in blue cloth, on contemporary rollers. Some creasing and soiling, but overall in very good condition.

The fourth edition of an important wall map of the United States, follow-ing editions of 1843, 1844, and 1845. Along with thirty-two small maps of individual American cities, there are two important additional inset maps which first appear in this 1846 version: “Map of Oregon Territory” (shown going up into Canada, beyond its limits of the Treaty of 1846), and “Map of the State of Texas.” Both insets are included for the first time in this edition and, published at the start of the Mexican War, they show important regions that would be significantly redrawn with the course of events. Another two additional inset maps: “Map of the North-Eastern boundary of the United States Accord-ing to the Treaty of 1842” showing the Maine-Canada boundary, and “Map of the Southern part of Florida,” are car-ried over from earlier versions of the map. There are also two population tables. As with all of Mitchell’s early maps of the United States, the main map extends no further west than the 95th meridian (eastern Texas). Due to the tremendous territorial growth west of the 95th meridian brought about by the Mexican-American War (1846-48), the map was discontinued after 1850. The map, engraved by J.H. Brightly, also appeared at least once (1843) in a pocket map format, with the thirty-two town plans on a separate sheet. Not in Phillips MAPS.

Second edition, after the first of 1843, of this rare pocket map of North America, showing the United States west to Texas,

Indian Territory, and Dakota Territory (i.e. 19° longitude west of Washington, D.C.). The map, J.H. Young’s “Mitchell’s National Map of the American Republic or the United States of North America,” is revised and updated from the 1843 version, most notably by the addition of the newly created Territory of Iowa. The inset map of Texas is new to this 1846 edition, and dates from the first year of statehood, still showing Texas with its Republic boundaries. The Oregon inset is also new, and shows the Oregon border going north into Canada, i.e. before the 1846 treaty boundaries. There are also two population tables, and the text lists the major railroad, steamboat, and stage routes all the way west to Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. The four insets are: “Map of the North-Eastern boundary of the United States According to the Treaty of 1842,” “Map of the Southern part of Florida,” “Map of Oregon Territory,” and “Map of the State of Texas.” These four insets take the place of the thirty-two small inset maps of cities and town from the 1843 version of the map. Rumsey lists only the wall map version of this 1846 map. OCLC locates eight copies of this important pocket map.RISTOW, p.310. OCLC 228693421, 8551053. RUMSEY 3796 (ref). $4500.

Some creasing, toning, and staining, but overall in very good condition.

The fifth edition of an important wall map of the United States, following editions of 1843, 1844, 1845, and 1846. Along with thirty-two small maps of individual American cities, there are two important additional inset maps, which appeared first in the 1846 version: “Map of Oregon Territory” (shown encompassing Or-egon and Washington) and “Map of the State of Texas.” The change in the Oregon Territory inset is signifi-cant, in that the inset on the 1846 edition showed Oregon going north into Canada, while the present inset shows Oregon Territory constrained by the boundaries of the Treaty of 1846. Texas includes virtually all of present-day New Mexico. Another two additional inset maps (“Map of the North-Eastern boundary of the United States According to the Treaty of 1842” showing the Maine-Canada

boundary, and “Map of the Southern part of Florida”) are carried over from earlier versions of the map. There are also two population tables. As with all of Mitchell’s early maps of the United States, the main map extends no further west than the 95th meridian (eastern Texas). Due to the tremendous territorial growth west of the 95th meridian brought about by the Mexican-American War (1846-48), the map was discontinued after 1850. The map, engraved by J.H. Brightly, also appeared at least once (1843) in a pocket map format, with the thirty-two town plans on a separate sheet. Not in Phillips’ MAPS, which lists the 1843 edition. The present map is significantly different in size than the 1848 Mitchell wall map described in Rumsey 2300. $4500.

63. [Mitchell, S. Augustus, and J.H. Young]: MITCHELL’S REFERENCE AND DISTANCE MAP OF THE UNITED STATES. Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, [1849]. Wall map, 57 x 70 inches. Expertly repaired, backed with modern linen, trimmed in maroon cloth, on contemporary rollers. Old repair evident in lower border. Occasional minute spotting. Color bright and clean. Very good.

This mammoth wall map of the Unit-ed States was originally published in 1836. It was significantly revised in 1846 with the addition of a landmark inset map entitled “A New Map of Texas, Oregon and California.” The inset map is present in this 1849 edi-tion and titled “A New Map of Texas, Oregon and California with the Re-gions Adjoining...1849.” The inset measures 20¾ x 22¼ inches. The Texas, Oregon, and California map was the most important commercial map of the American West issued on the eve of the Mexican-American War. Wheat notes that it “embraced the most recent published informa-tion extant.” It was one of the first commercial maps to incorporate the discoveries of Fremont, as well as those of Nicollet and Wilkes, and Emory’s map of Texas (1844). This second edition was published in 1849, with the inset of the same title and size. Later editions, with the impor-tant inset, are very scarce. Rumsey

Magnificent Map of the United States

75. Tanner, Henry S.: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Philadelphia: Published by Henry S. Tanner, 1829. Engraved map, handcolored in outline, in sections backed on linen. Sheet size: 50 x 63 inches. Engraved by H.S. Tanner, assisted by E.B. Dawson, W. Allen, and J. Knight, with integral decorative title vignette after J.W. Steel. The map is surrounded by numerous small panels including two extensions to the area covered by the map, six more-detailed maps of environs of various eastern cities, eight city plans, a number of elevation profiles of railroads and waterways, and two tables of statis-tics. Rebacked on linen, expertly conserved by the Green Dragon Bindery. Silk lining edges. Lightly and evenly toned. A very nice copy. In a modern half morocco portfolio, stamped in gilt.

The first edition of Tanner’s spectacular and very beautiful large-scale map from “the Golden Age of American Mapmak-ing.” The 1829 first edition of this map is described by Rumsey as “one of the best early large maps of the United States and the premier map for its period” (Rumsey 975). The map shows the United States from the Atlantic ocean to what today is western Kansas (noted as “Kanzas” on map). To the west of Michigan Territory and Missouri large areas of land include the locations of numerous Indian tribes but are designated as “Districts” rather than Territories: District of Huron, Sioux District, Mandan District, Osage District and Ozark District. Also included are canals, railroads, “McAdamized” roads and proposed canals and railroads. One of the most attractive and interesting aspects of the map are the numerous insets: these include sixteen inset city and regional maps (Environs of Albany; Environs of Boston; Environs of New York; Environs of Philadelphia and Trenton; Environs of Baltimore and Washington; Cincinnati; Charleston; New Orleans; South Part of Florida; Washington; Baltimore; Philadelphia; New York; Boston; Pittsburgh & Environs; Oregon and Mandan Districts [8 x 13 inches, with a further inset ‘Outlet of Oregon River’]) the border of the main map also includes fourteen profiles of portages, canals, and railroads and two tables in the lower right corner: Statistics of the Western Districts, and Statistics of the United States. According to Tooley, H.S. Tanner is “thought to be the first native-born American to devote his career to publishing,” and he is responsible for some of the most important maps of the United States to be published in the 19th century.AMERICAN IMPRINTS 40603.

publication of Gerard Troost’s GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE ENVIRONS OF PHILADELPHIA, Philadelphia, 1826, and...as a [pocket] map of Philadelphia and adjacent country.” To Rumsey’s description we can add this third format, as an accompaniment to Tanner’s 1840 guide to the city of Philadelphia. $575.

A Landmark Map of Texas and California in 1846

77. [Tanner, Henry S.]: A MAP OF THE UNITED STATES OF MEXICO, AS ORGANIZED AND DEFINED BY THE SEVERAL ACTS OF THE CONGRESS OF THAT REPUBLIC [caption title]. New York: Henry S. Tanner, 1846. Folding handcolored pocket map, 31 x 24¾ inches, tipped into original 12mo. cloth folder. Cloth sunned. Minor foxing on pastedowns. Slight staining from adhesive at cover. A few small holes at corner folds, else nicely intact. Color quite bright and clean. Very good. In a half morocco and cloth clamshell case, spine gilt.

Third edition, second issue, after the first of 1825. Each of these editions and issues was revised, and this is generally considered the most important. The map shows all of Mexico and the majority of the American Southwest, with insets providing a “Table of Distances,” a “Statistical Table,” and a map of roads from Vera Cruz to Alvarado. Taken from his 1822 “Map of North America,” Tanner’s present effort would play a controversial role in the war with Mexico and con-flicting claims to territory near San Diego, here placed soundly within the United States. In the first issue, the southern

boundary of California was placed further south than either the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo or the Gadsden Purchase would allow. “The plate [in the present second issue] has been changed to follow Fremont in California, including the Great Basin. The southern boundary of California now extends from Pt. Moinfrains northeast to the mouth of the Gila, while the United States boundary with Sonora is still much too far south. New Mexico is still confined to a narrow strip between the Rio Grande and the mountains that form the continental divide, all east of there being Texas, which ends at the Arkansas River. North of that stream the map has been altered to show the Parks and South Pass” - Wheat. This is the first edition of the Tanner map to show the correct course of the Timpanogos and Buena Ventura rivers.

An important installment in the controversial cartography of the American Southwest. Quite scarce. OCLC locates only eight copies.WHEAT TRANSMISSISSIPPI II, pp.89-90, no. 364; III, p.38, no. 529.

A Crucial Western Map

78. Tanner, Henry S.: A MAP OF THE UNITED STATES OF MEXICO, AS ORGANIZED AND DEFINED BY THE SEVERAL ACTS OF THE CONGRESS OF THAT REPUBLIC, CONSTRUCTED FROM A GREAT VA-RIETY OF PRINTED AND MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENTS. Philadelphia. 1847. Folding handcolored pocket map, 24½ x 30¼ inches. In original 12mo. gilt cloth folder. Minor rubbing and soiling to cloth cover. A few small tears and losses at several folds. Minor toning and foxing, some faint offsetting. Very good. In a half morocco and cloth clamshell box, spine gilt.

The fourth edition of Tanner’s important map of Mexico, after the first of 1825 which was taken from his 1822 “Map of North America.” The map shows all of Mexico and the majority of the American Southwest, with insets providing a “Table of Distances,” a “Statistical Table,” and a map of roads from Vera Cruz to Alvarado. This edition is modified only slightly from the third edition, second issue (1846), which played an important and controversial role in the war with Mexico and conflicting claims to territory near San Diego. “Finally, H.S. Tanner published the ‘Fourth Edition 1847’ and the ‘Fifth Edition 1847’ of his Map of Mexico. An insert of the harbor of Vera Cruz has been added, but in what is now the United States the only changes appear to be the inclusion of a line showing Kearny’s route to Santa Fe and some alteration in the colored areas showing the extreme northern limits of New Mexico” - Wheat.WHEAT TRANSMISSISSIPPI III, p.48, no. 554.

With the Directory to the Map

80. Walling, H.F.: MAP OF THE STATE OF MAINE. Portland, Me.: J. Chace Jr., & Co., 1861. Wall map, 62½ x 61 inches, with full period hand-coloring.

[with:] A BUSINESS DIRECTORY OF THE SUBSCRIBERS TO THE NEW MAP OF MAINE.... Portland. [1861]. 344pp. Original publisher’s cloth. Lightly worn and faded at extremities. Very minor foxing. About very good.

An impressive and immensely detailed map of the state of Maine, incorporating the work of the British and American Boundary Commissioners Survey, the U.S. Coast Survey, the State Land Surveys, and the New Brunswick Provincial Surveys. Drawn on a scale of five miles to an inch, the chart shows all the counties and cities in the state, and minutely delineates the coastline. Several cities are shown in inset maps: Portland, Calais, Presque Isle, Houlton, Ellsworth, Bangor, East-port, Machias, Bath, Farmington, Dover and Foxcroft, Paris Hill, Skowhegan, Waterville, Hallowell, Wiscasset, Gar-diner, Augusta, Waldboro, Brunswick, Thomaston, Rockland, Auburn and Lewiston, and Saco and Biddeford. Also included is a table of distances and an engraving showing the moun-tains of Maine with their height in feet. A rather large inset map shows the United States, and a smaller one shows the world. Phillips’ MAPS and Rumsey list an 1862 edition, but not the present one.

This is Walling’s first map of Maine, and so misses by a year inclusion in Thompson’s bibliography of Maine maps.RUMSEY 1153. PHILLIPS MAPS, p.385 (both for 1862 ed). $4000.

The Streeter Copy of a Significant Western Map

81. Wells, John G.: WELLS’ NEW SECTIONAL MAP OF NEBRASKA FROM THE LAST GOVERNMENT SURVEYS. New York. 1857. Handcolored pocket map, 31 x 23 inches. In the original 6 x 4-inch green cloth folder, gilt.

The Streeter copy of this scarce map of Eastern Nebraska, showing the beginning of the Oregon Trail. “This map, showing Nebraska townships to 97.5° and extending to about 98° 20’ was evidently issued for J.B. Snow of Otoe, Nebraska, since the ‘Great Emigrant rout [sic] to California and Oregon via Ft. Kearney’ starts at Otoe, a town no longer in existence, located across the Missouri from the Iowa-Missouri state line. This is an early and good large scale map of eastern Nebraska” - Streeter. Fairly scarce - not in Rumsey or Phillips, and only five copies located in OCLC.STREETER SALE 2003. $10,000.

Important Early Map of Kansas

82. Wells, John Gaylord: WELLS’ NEW RAIL ROAD AND TOWNSHIP MAP OF MISSOURI AND EASTERN KAN-SAS FROM THE LATEST GOVERNMENT SURVEYS.

New York: J.G. Wells, 11 Beekman Street, 1857. 24 x 30 inches, folded to 5¾ x 3½ inches, with contemporary color. In original green cloth folder, stamped in gilt. Light wear to folder. Separation at some folds. Very lightly toned, a few small stains in top left corner. Very good.

A rare and handsome map of Missouri and the eastern edge of Kansas, with each county highlighted in color. This map does not appear in Modelski’s railroad bibliographies or other standard sources. In the late 1850s railroads became increas-ingly important to the Great Plains region and the West. Most of the rail lines shown on this map ema-nate from St. Louis - the “Gateway to the West” - connecting her to Jefferson City and other smaller cities, with the future route of the line delineated. Several proposed lines are indicated, such as one from Jefferson City to Kansas City, and another from Keosauqua, Iowa to Kansas City. Tooley lists car-tographer J.G. Wells (1821-80), but notes only one map (Ohio) by him. The front pastedown bears an advertisement for Wells’ latest publications, including eighteen maps and fourteen books, for a total of almost forty items. Wells’ cartographic output was short-lived but vigorous, and all his maps are very rare. This map is not located in OCLC, though an 1858 edition does appear in one copy, at the University of Virginia. $5750.
