(Covers to) Rand, McNally & Co.'s new geological map of Colorado. Copyright, 1879, by Rand, McNally & Co.
List No
4788A
Note
This is a very unusual map for Rand McNally to issue - geological maps were not common in their catalog and this may be the only one they published. It was probably the interest in mining that motivated publication and the inclusion of "Mineralogical References" in the map key. The main source for the geological formations was Hayden's General Geological Map of Colorado that appeared in his 1877 Atlas of Colorado. But Rand McNally's map has much more detail on towns and railroads than Hayden and is a much superior map in that respect. Ellis 82 is the 1880 edition, which was also issued without geological coloring as "Rand McNally & Co.'s New Sectional Map of Colorado." This map is in printed full color, folded into dark blue cloth covers 16.5x10 titled "Rand, McNally & Co's geological and mineralogical maps Of Colorado" in gold.

Note
Huge, large scale map of one of the early and important coal regions of West Virginia. Land owners' holdings are shown in color with dates of original patents (George Washington had large holdings here). Six sections show the amount and kinds of coal found at different parts of the valley. An inset map of West Virginia shows the current and future water and rail connections between the Kanawha Valley and Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Several columns of text describe the geography, climate, and types of coal to be found. The sheer amount of information is impressive. This must be one of the best coal mining maps of its time, if not the largest. Map folds into embossed dark brown cloth covers 22x15 with "Title Map Of The Great Kanawha Coal Field. John S. Swann." in gilt.

List No

Note
First edition, with Karrow showing later editions in 1849, 1850 and 1851. Eberstadt calls this "perhaps the earliest large scale separately printed sectional map of the Territory." Copper and Lead mines are shown in the area around Mineral Point and counties are colored blue in outline. This is probably Lapham's first published state map - the map he used in his 1844 "Geographical and Topographical Description of Wisconsin" is by Morse and Breese (see our #3077). His earliest city map is the 1845 "Map of Milwaukee" engraved by Sherman and Smith (although Karrow attributes to Lapham the 1836 "City of Milwaukee" by William Burt). Backed on thin linen and folded into dark brown leather covers 14x9, with "Wisconsin." stamped in gilt on the front cover.
