Wheat: "a complex map very different in aspect from that of 1868, yet no less beautiful, and employing the new information that had reached the War Department during the 1870's." It is a complete redrawing of the Freyhold/Warren map of 1868, larger in scale, and so dense in information that the itineraries are no longer shown. There is an inset of Alaska in the lower right. This copy belonged to James Douglas, the founder of the Phelps Dodge mining empire in Arizona and for whom Douglas, Arizona, was named. In the same year the Army issued somewhat larger versions of this map on thin paper for field use, one example being the Map of California and Nevada with Parts of Utah & Arizona (see our #3360).

Note
This is one of the first editions to have the map - the editions of 1832, 1834 and 1835 did not include the map. The map is similar in coverage to the Strong and Mitchell maps of the same date, but a bit more current in its showing of new counties in Indiana and Illinois. Outline color by county, folded into the guide book before the title page. The book has 108 pages, printed paper covered boards and leather spine.
