An important early guide to the Colorado Gold Region, with three Colton maps on two sheets: "Kansas and Nebraska...1859," which is taken from the 1858 General Atlas, minus the upper half of Nebraska - shows eastern Kansas and Nebraska; "Nebraska and Kanzas, Showing Pikes Peak And The Gold Region...1859," which is the lower half of the 1857 General Atlas map of the same title (without the reference to the Gold Region); and "Military Map of Parts of Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota by Lieut. G.K. Warren Top. Engrs. from the Explorations made by him in 1855, 56 & 57... J.H. Colton... New York," which is derived from the lower half of Warren's 1858/1859 "Military Map of Nebraska and Dakota" (see our #2932). The "Nebraska and Kanzas, Showing Pikes Peak..." map appeared as the only map in J.W. Reed's 1859 "Map of and Guide to the Kansas Gold Region (WC343a), also published by J.H. Colton. Bound in brown linen 15x10, with "Guide to Kansas, The Pike's Peak Gold Region &c. &c. J.H. Colton New York" in gold on the cover. Prime meridians are Washington D.C. and Greenwich.
