Note
This is from the same plate used by Bien for the General Land Office "Map of The Territory of New Mexico" first issued in 1879. Comparing this with the 1882 GLO edition we can find absolutely no changes, notwithstanding Thayer's claims in the title. The only difference is the use of hand color by Thayer versus printed color by the GLO. Undated, with the date estimated by comparison with the GLO map of 1882. The Streeter copy is dated 1880. Scarce. Map is folded into dark green cloth covers 15x10 with "Thayer's Map Of New Mexico. One Dollar." stamped in gilt.

The "Survey of Western Palestine" covered 6000 square miles and includes the set of these 26 highly detailed maps, and 50 plates supplemented by nine volumes of extensive writings on all aspects of Palestine: Memoirs on the topography, orography, hydrography and archaeology of Galilee, Samaria and Judea (one volume each); Special Papers on topography, archaeology, manners and customs; Jerusalem; Fauna and Flora; Geology; also Arabic and English Name Lists and a complete General Index. The Survey was intended to include at a later date Eastern, Southern and Northern Palestine. In fact only one volume on Eastern Palestine was published, and has been included in a 1997 printing of the survey volumes.This copy is special for several reasons: it is likely the 3rd issue of the 26 sheet map and was printed by Edward Stanford instead of the Ordnance Survey which produced the first two issues earlier in 1880 (information from the reports of the Palestine Exploration Fund found online) and it appears that Stanford used a slightly different printing method, the background color being black instead of the brown tone found in the first two issues. And, bound with this copy are four additional maps of Palestine made by Stanford and based on the 26 sheet survey (two of the additional maps are dated 1881 and 1882 respectively, indicating that this bound volume was issued in 1882). One of the two authors of the survey, Lord Kitchener, later to be the Secretary of State for War and the highest-ranking British officer to be killed in the First World War, spent his early years in the army as a surveyor. He produced two monumental maps: this one of Palestine, on 26 sheets, and a 15-sheet map of Cyprus, published in 1885. Kitchener's Palestine survey was important: not only because it was so accurate that it is are still consulted by archaeologists and geographers, but also because the northern limit of the survey is now the border between Israel and Lebanon.
