1st edition, 1st year of operation for Cram's business. Everything about this map is different from Cram's later productions: it is his first year of operation, at 134 Lake Street, and the style of the cover, the map and the cartouche all have an "early" and unsophisticated look. Charles Shober is listed as Lithographer. Cram also produced the Guide Map to Chicago in 1868 (see our copy). Surviving pre fire maps by Cram are rare. Karrow shows 1869 maps for Missouri, Missouri and Kansas together, and Illinois, (all engraved by Pfeiffer, not Shober), but he shows no 1868 maps other than this Iowa and the Chicago maps. So this may be Cram's first state pocket map. It is copyright 1868. There is a view of a steam engine in the cartouche; this does not appear in later Cram maps. A 10 page index lists principal towns and counties, and gives a brief history of the state. Full color. Map is folded into stamped dark green cloth covers 14x9 with "New Township Map Of Iowa" in gilt.

This is a highly detailed, large scale map used by land agents to locate parcels for sale to settlers. The area covered is a portion of north central Iowa, at a time when settlement and railroad building was getting underway. Some of the lands shown on the map were probably railroad grant lands for sale by agents, several of whom are listed on the map. The balance of the lands shown were available by grant from the U.S. General Land Office, which opened a regional office in Fort Dodge in 1856. Privately published land surveys such as this have rarely survived. A comparison of the same area shown in the 1875 Andreas Historical Atlas of Iowa reveals that many of the towns shown on this map did not survive, or were moved, and other towns sprang up that are not shown on this map. Folded into dark brown cloth covers 18x11 with "Robbins Safford & Co's Map Of The Fort Dodge Land District Iowa." stamped in gilt.

This is the second edition (1866 was the first) of the first map of Iowa that Blanchard produced by himself (he issued Morse's Map of Iowa in 1856 - see our #2375). The map appears to be taken from a larger wall or pocket map, and is certainly from the same plate as Blanchard's large Map of the North Western States (our #5210). Only eastern Nebraska is shown, including the partially completed Pacific Railroad from Omaha westward. With a paste down slip of population statistics on the inside cover. Full color. Map is folded into dark green cloth covers 12.5x9 with "Guide Map Of Iowa And Eastern Nebraska" in gilt.
